Who cares. It's a font. It says the same thing no matter what font it's in (well, except maybe Winddings). And it's a tie. It serves the same purpose... wait, what's the purpose of a tie again? Oh, I remember: to look like a professional douchebag. That's right, the tie is the professional version of a titlted hat in hip hop.

Some people care about good design. If you don't, that's perfectly OK (I'm sure there are things that you're interested in that I don't care about either), but why criticise those who do care about good typography? I think the typeface does change what something "says" - for better or for worse, people make value judgements on whether to see a play, buy a DVD, shop in a certain store, or read a book by what is used to advertise it. Sure, it's not as important as the content of the book/play/film, but when you're trying to let your customers know what the product is like and help them decide whether it's "their sort of thing", such stylistic choices have a lot of impact. You might think it's trivial, but ask yourself if you'd feel 100% comfortable walking into a hospital seeing the hospital's name and all the signs in Comic Sans? Wouldn't you feel that they weren't taking this "being a hospital" stuff seriously?

Oh, and the gentleman in your avatar picture is wearing a tie.

The letter h.

Your point being? "hache" in French is not aspired or expired or whatever. All "h" are silent in French and exist solely for decoration or etymology. As such, some words beginning with an "h" that used to be aspired in old French or in the native language will not allow liaison but that's it. Since in English both aspired and non aspired "h" exists, the distinction is more important.

a very well done typography! as well as a skit that will always be funny, no matter how old it gets. as long as baseball is around, folks will laugh at this.

Upvote for Ron Paul, who was the only candidate that had a solid moral foundation and the fearlessness to share it with the world.

The video however... the typography was really creative and fun, but went too fast. And the music was too loud. Though the music was very interesting as a symbol of the anger and drive that Ron Paul constrains within his passionate arguments, even though it is much too youthful and overt.
