I still can’t believe they switched to Calibri at all; the only people who should be using Calibri are people who don’t realize that Microsoft Word lets you pick other fonts.

I do wish they’d gone for a classier serif though; Garamond was right there.

You think the US govenment would go for a French typeface?

There's a certain je ne sais quoi to the US government's relationship with France.

  Le problème avec les Américains, c'est qu'ils n'ont pas de mot pour «entrepreneur».
