This is Michael Scott levels of managerial nonsense, bloody hell.

Is Trump incapable of hiring anyone borderline competent?

Blinken was the name of the blind character sidekick in Men in Tights back in the day, so the preference of an actually less appropriate font for reading is on script.

There's a difference between "Let's use Calibri to make our documents more readable" and "Let's go back to TNR becuase using Calibri is woke nonsense by Biden's guy". They could have used pretty much any other reason to switch back to TNR, but decided to make it a childish DEI/"woke" jab.

"TDS" is not a real thing, you clown. Grow up.

Is there any evidence that sans-serif typefaces are more readable? I’ve previously seen headlines claiming the opposite.

You can find evidence for both sides, because life is more complicated than that. Do you have 20/20 vision? Hi-def screen? High contrast? Floaters in your eyes? Cataracts? Are you tired? How is the text laid out? Line spacing?

Literally all of these can impact the answer.

Ok, now insert "broadly" or "generally" into the previous comment and respond to what they actually meant.

Mixed evidence like they said, it depends

You understand both justifications are actually made up? As there is no evidence Calibri has better readability, certainly it doesn't have anything to do with wokeism.

You must be proud of mastering the grammar, aren't you? I guess there is nothing else to be proud of.

If you are going to make snide comments about the intelligence of others, be prepared for your own to be scrutinized.

If you reduce intelligence to knowledge of grammar, I can just pity you. Must be good to feel superiour.
