On Arial

My problem with Arial is not one of fins or flippers – that’s Ariel the little mermaid.

I have no problem with Ariel Bender. I think I had the hots for him when I was a kid. It’s hard to remember the early 70’s. I have no problem with the Ariel the Archangel, either.

I have no problem with Ariel, a moon of Uranus. Maybe a bit of a problem with Ariel Sharon, also a moon of Uranus, but he’s incapacitated so I’ll leave him alone.

No, my problem is with Arial the font. And I really wouldn’t mind it too much except I’m told that I must use it, am required to use, at work. For more than you will ever want to know about Arial the font see the link.
