- prewett 10y agoHow is the original sentence meaningless? "We think you will like this" (rephrasing) definitely has a meaning. You have probably said something similar when you are recommending something. Whereas their version actually changes the meaning. It changes the verb from liking a lot to physically changing location. (And to be pedantic, "really" is an adverb, not an adjective, so it is outside the scope of the name of the font.) It is a cool hack, although, I expect this idea could be put to all sorts of nefarious uses.
- terminus 10y ago> How is the original sentence meaningless? "We think you will like this" (rephrasing) definitely has a meaning. The original sentence is meaningless because it's marketing drivel. In a sales context, this is literally the only thing they can say. Thus in an information theoretic sense the "We think you will love this" (the original phrasing) conveys exactly zero additional information besides what can be gleaned from the identity of the speaker.
