Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
David, I like it!
Would you want me to run it by my bookstore owner friends who will be, most likely, carrying it? (They have the whole 33 1/3 series.)
I can't tell if I have a cold or the allergies are killing me this year. I've been home for a day and a half with narstiness though. blergh!
I still think the publisher should change the font, but since the publisher won't change the font -- what Jesse said.
Yup, that.

Please! The more feedback the better. I think I'll run it by a Tom Waits fan forum.
I like that the fonts are all the same for the series! Even though it causes a design challenge in this instance. They look great on display together.
deciphers a sign or billboard phonetically (and usually incorrectly) because of unusual font or spacing.
There's a billboard that is on the highway on the way back to my hometown advertising "THE LOOSEST SLOTS IN TOWN!" I know what it says, and I still read it wrong and do a double take every damn time.
Yeah, I was going to say -- I don't think they're wrong to not change the font. It's a huge series with a uniform look.
There's a Fiji billboard I've seen that says, and I swear this although google gives me no love, "Taste the cumulus."
That's not a deciphering issue so much as a "I'm not the only one reading this this way! Stop it!"

This is my life!. As a dyslexic person, one of my greatest joys in life is that my form of the disorder seems to have a sense of humor.
Whenever I read signs like that wrongly, the outcome is really funny.
Dog help me with all the sweatshirts around here that say Virginia. When I'm tired, I see before me a sea of vaginas. It's hilarious.
This morning, I spent a couple of miles stuck behind a minivan with the license plate "URSLEPY" (the plate holder said Hypnosis for change).
I hadn't had coffee yet, so I may have been biased, but ireally, isn't that not such a good idea for a car? Plus kind of mean.
Especially with billboards. Because you're driving, and so not really taking time to actually read the thing, so your brain is filling in whatever would fit.
