BOSTON GlOBE

Thank you, Carmen Nobel, for your informative article about the lowercase L epidemic in the Online Finds section of The Boston Globe today!
William Levin has a peeve, and it is this: Sometimes, when people create handwritten signs, they choose to capitalize every letter except the letter "L." It bugged him as a child, when he saw a sign for a "YARD SAlE." It bugged him as a college freshman, when his dorm mates made T-shirts advertising themselves as residents of "STONE HAll." It bugged him as an adult, and he decided to blog about it.

Read the rest of the article.

You've got to be fucking kidding. It clearly says "The Boston Globe." I was starting to agree with your hatred of this phenomenon but now you're just being fucking paranoid. Jesus Christ.

Okay, so the lowercase L thing, huh? Weird, right? Makes you wonder what other bizarre font choices are lurking out there. Seriously, STONE HAll? I mean, come on! This article on a very strange peeve reminded me of the time my roommate insisted on using Comic Sans for his official university presentation. It was... a choice. Thankfully, the professor had a good sense of humor. Sharing this little block breaker moment.

Carmen Nobel's article is a gem! The lowercase "L" epidemic is real. It reminds me of frustrating near-misses in 8 ball pool . You line up the perfect shot, thinking victory is certain, but that subtle error throws everything off. Just like those signs!
