I honestly think people using comic sans is more nightmarish than anything inflicted on us by wordpad.

Comic Sans is dead all hail comic shanns

(Also I've unironically loved Comic sans for 30 years)

I too am a fan of Comic Sans. It sits in my heart the same place as overplayed dad rock.

I actually code in a monospace variant of comic sans because my life is basically a shitpost

Not to mention that Comic sans is a great accessible font for people with dyslexia

There are allegedly even better fonts for dyslexia, but do they upset other people as much? No.

Open Dyslexic has you covered. It was designed by experts for this purpose.
