        I think fonts have been designed to do that while not looking like… well, Comic Sans

          I encourge accesability options, but they also have to be, accessable. Sure a lot of people can figure out how to install a font like opendyslexic, but if it isn’t installed by default then it won’t pop up on people’s radars as easily. So they go with the best option avalible to them then.

            I support accessibility options, but they also shouldn’t let people be monsters.

          Yes, but they’re less common to be built into font packs. It depends lot person to person too what works well for them.

        This isn’t comic sans. I’m sorry. I can’t help myself sometimes. I’m a dirty pedant. You’re right though, hand written fonts can help with dyslexia.

    How about just stop drinking sugar water…

    My family has been recently trying to get me to drink that bubly crap because it’s ‘better then water’…I just give blank stares and go right back to the water.

      No sugar or other sweeteners in sparkling water, don’t worry.

          I hate to break it to you, but tap water has been altered by a company… for the better. Even local ground water has to be filtered to some extent by the local municipality. Only time you’re getting untouched water is if you have a well on your property. And even then, a lot of people have discovered that local farm and industrial activity can drastically change the quality of that water. And even if you’re lucky enough to have well water that isn’t filtered and isn’t affected by anything outside your control… you could have old lead pipes in your house… or the water could be affected by radon or many other things. Basically… I wouldn’t fret too much about who touches your water unless it presents an actual danger to your health.

            And it’s not wrong. Enjoy your ‘insert branding’. All hail the overlords selling you ‘water’!

              I don’t drink it either, wise guy. I’m just not pretentious about it.

      Some of us would like a change once in a while. Bubbly water is pretty harmless. As is nearly everything in moderation.

      Or you could do you, and police everyone’s behavior. So looking below, it’s probably not that people are offended when you drink water. They’re tired of you constantly judging them for not. I drank bottles of water constantly in a very pro-booze dorm and I never once had someone comment on it.

        “You sure you don’t want a glass of Coke? It tastes good!”

        Not that far fetched. “Trying to get” doesn’t necessarily mean “trying to force”.
