Idle question of the day: who is the original nitwit that thought uppercase I (i) and lowercase l (L) should be the same symbol?

@shuttersparks Excellent question! That guy really deserves to be tarred & feathered!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

@ArenaCops Exactly. My question wasn't entirely idle. I might go and disrespect their grave if I knew who it was. ;-)

@shuttersparks ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Don't forget to wash hands after disrespecting though!

Itโ€™s not one person.

Itโ€™s a coordinated global conspiracy by a group that goes by the name #SansSerif. Pretty hard to find the precise locus

Additionally, Iโ€™d go with crippling sanctions. Thatโ€™ll teach them, if Philโ€™s disrespecting the grave of the founder doesnโ€™t

@rameshgupta @shuttersparks I can't help it, sounds somewhat French to me - maybe they dilettantishly guillotined the Serifs, out of suspicion they were hostile foreign Sheriffs.

Yeah, always decapitate first, ask questions later.

#Robespierre, who advocated the mobilization of a sans-culotte (such close resemblance to sans-serif) army, was executed without trial.

Pure gold, the last few posts have been!

#Trump == Comic Sans has committed the heinous act of serificide, and that shall not go unpunished.

I live in Illinois and the mere thought of this barbaric injustice makes me Ill. Every serif makes a difference and deserves a chance

@rameshgupta @dogzilla @shuttersparks We should hold a referendum on the introduction of a congressional Medal of Serifdom. In memoriam of its bravery on the front of fonts! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

>> We should hold a referendum on the introduction of a congressional Medal of #Serifdom.

I agree.

Every #serif will be free, from the sliver to the wee

@rameshgupta @dogzilla @shuttersparks Yesterday the orange presidential office trojan was heard singing off-key "I shot the Serif".

Now half the world is having a meltdown.
It's outrageous!
