Email (part III) - The Font Edition

First, my Pet Peeve = People who send emails in a typeface larger than 16 points, and in any color other than black.

Second, (and most important) my Hatred = The font Comic Sans.
A hideously overused sans serif font, with slightly off-kilter lettering to appear 'light' or humorous. Often used by serious people, who have to try really hard to not be serious. This is also the passive agressive font. Similar to beginning a letter with "Howdy Buddy McPallyboy" and then proceeding to tell that person that their bad habits are no longer tolerable around you.

People who enjoy Comic Sans also enjoy things like beige sedans, Microsoft Excel, casual Fridays, and Applebee's.
