Four fonts. Spiffy.

That’s all I got. For a while, I was trying to see if that was an older image of Brad Pitt, with shorter artificially-darkened hair, but, it’s not.

So–what’s the purpose of spelling Traffic wrong?

Traffick is an alt spl of traffic usually implying illegal traffic (rum running, drug running, gun running). It’s supposed to mark the user as “in the know”.

Well, I guess I’m just not in the know. I sort of feel the same way about that as I do those idiots that use “kreative” spellings for their kids’ names. Marks them as illiterates, forever–unfairly, after all, because it’s their mindless parents that so label them, not they themselves. (Although, I’ve seen plenty of that, too; people adopting “cutesy” or similarly stupid spellings of normal names.) How do these poor dolts get bloody JOBS?

I did put “in the know” in quotes implying it’s pretentious in my not so humble opinion. But special k implies illegal traffic so I am guilty using it time to time. If I key in Notepad or Vedit before posting, I usually correct myself.
