^LOL that was hilarious.

Personally I really adore the 11-pt Calibri atm.

Prior to having Microsoft Word 2007 I was obsessed with Garamond though. It's a slightly more petite and elegant version of TNR. It's quite lovely.

And then I liked Papyrus back in 7th grade, before I realized how amateur it looked, and promptly switched over to Jokerman.

Back in middle school, I used to download a lot of fonts. My favorite downloaded one was Akbar, the font used on The Simpsons.

I do like this Vista font that has the name "Fred" in it.... can't remember what exactly it's called though.

Obvs, I don't use these for formal papers.

Unfortunately my English teacher is very strict with his formatting rules. He makes us use Times New Roman size 12 for all of our papers. I like Verdana and Tahoma though.

I think Bell MT is sexier than Garamond (personally).

I find Comic Sans to be quite sexy. Just look at the curves on it.

I always associated Comic Sans with a nice, easy class. That is, until I took Chemistry and all the worksheets were in CS... and let me tell you, it was NOT nice nor easy.

I just use TNR since that's what the teachers require for the majority of subjects (english, history) that require writing...I once used some random font to see what'd happen and I got like 5 points off and a threat to receive a 0 next time I don't follow directions lmao.
