no offense to those people out there who read my blog, but something that bothers me is changing fonts to emphasize certain words. for some reason, i get so distracted when i read it and my eyes just naturally jump from bold phrase to bold phrase, skipping everything in between. i have to concentrate very hard to read the text, which i think defeats the purpose.

another reason is that i feel it makes the writing a little too melodramatic. if you exaggerate the words, it seems that you are exaggerating as a whole, thus you lose some credibility. but that's more of a distant secondary reason.

it's weird that it never really bothered me until about a year ago. i noticed that i couldn't really read easily for those blogs with different size, color, and bold/italic fonts all over the place.

i'm sure i do things every day (like not capitalize words) on this blog that annoy people. but i had to update, because PJ told me to.

on an unrelated note, here's a pretty cool quote that i heard. it's not verbatim, but close enough: "people don't remember what you said, they remember how you made them feel."
