That's awful! I figured that they were painting an overly rosy picture.

Here's to hoping this post won't be needed by all 83 million households/small business going forward…

The good news, however, is that Chase has no evidence that passwords, account numbers, user IDs, birthdates, or Social Security numbers had been stolen.

Every time he calls an up the middle run for VEREEN on 3rd and long I die inside…

I love how every time he makes an interception, he NEVER lets go of the ball after the play. He's like a dog with a bone.

Haha yes, I misread. Also agree that pineapple on pizza is a sin. Little known fact: In Dante's Inferno people who placed pineapple on pizza went to the 8.5 circle of hell… This was later cut during edits (ugh editor liked pineapple)

I initially mentioned my credentials not as a way to "win" anything, but when discussing the type size issue, more to impress that I wasn't some shmuck that has no idea about these things, but someone who works with type day in and day out. I absolutely understand that formal qualifications don't amount to much here…

That's a criticism you could level at a lot of professions (pretenders vs. people with skill), and by that logic I could also call your degrees into question, but that's a whole other can of worms. Unfortunately there are a lot of hacks out there… To give you some more meaningful credentials, I have a pretty long…

Absolutely agree. Brevity is a lost art!

And that's completely reasonable of you. Design is about communication first, so if you can't read what someone is putting in front of you, the document is worthless. That's why designers should always print out their work and read it with a critical eye, just as a chef should taste their food before serving it.

You're right, I got frustrated and ramped things up, and I appologize for that. Your comments demonstrate contempt for my entire profession though. If you feel that my profession being in the arts, and the fact that it doesn't have licensing makes it less of a profession and less worthy of respect, then why should I…

But it also does not mean that what came before it is better either.

You need to take a deep breath.

A "mere opinion" informed by industry best practices (not to mention correct grammar and punctuation), 4 years of college, and over 6 years of professional practice. You formed your opinion because… you read…?

"A widespread observation is that increased sentence spacing creates "rivers"^[14] or "holes"^[15] within text, making it visually unattractive, distracting, and difficult to locate the end of sentences.^[16] Comprehensive works on typography describe the negative effect on readability caused by inconsistent spacing,^[17]…

Why not have both?

And what if the person reading the resume has cataracts? Better yet, what if they're blind? Let's really design proof this and put the resume in multiple foreign languages because, hell, what if English isn't their first language?!

There can be too much of a good thing. There are both good uses of negative space and bad. Creating the holes in text—called "rivers", by the way—is bad because they are distracting, slow reading, and breaks up text blocks (which is bad for compositions). Saying "If white space is bad in the antiquated way that I…

Double spacing after a period is no longer necessary and is a hold over from when people used type writers. Modern software (Such as Adobe InDesign and MS Word, as well as the .otfs, .ttfs, and other fonts you use) automatically provides adequate kerning between periods and the following sentence.
