Yeah, trying to get people to take Em vs En vs Hyphen seriously is a fool's errand. Only typography nerds would take it seriously and there just aren't enough of them to make a difference. I'd guess that the vast majority of

I remember running down the street and back with my new vibram 5 fingers just to try them out. The next day my calves were so sore I could barely walk. I couldn't wait to do it again. I've since moved on to minimalist runners with

Steelman is a bit of a stretch on this move. It sounds to me like the government is seeding doubt in its own reserve currency and propping up a different currency. The only sane thing I can think of is that it's a hedge against a compl
