Hey Sam:  You are really timely with Word of Today!!!  But you forgot to include one example which I ask about in behalf of a fellow LiCReR (que quizás es demasiado obstinado para preguntarse): hoax

And I suggest you include a CR-invented word that is really appropriate:  covidiota   Its translation is self-evident, even for los obstinados.  A Tica comedienne who calls herself Farrah Fauces (there's some wordplay for ya Sam!)  coined this and it's on Youtube.  I sent it along to some friends north of here and I see it being used frequently now in its English form.

You're the tech expert amongst us Sam.  Does a reduction in font size correlate to a reduction in homosexual tendencies?  Maybe I'll give it a go, although the only reason to do so would be to quell the ongoing debate.  Neither Fernanda nor an X number of her F predecessors has ever indicated a problem, and there have been 0 other genders who have experience with the victim in this debate.   (Except for the hog on a finca in Colombia one drunken night, but that doesn't count, does it?)  Gene, by the way, is doing an admirable job as my defense counsel, pro bono, but as you have said, You Can't Fix STUPID.

Joe & Gene,

Sorry I've been missing out on the fun this morning.  Finally after 10+ years of having my office without cielorraso we are finally putting one in today!  Yippee!   No more cleaning garrobilla droppings off my desk in the morning, very much reduced neighbor dog-barking noise while talking to clients, being forced into fixing all the goteras, and much, much, more!  ;-)

¡Covidiota!  I like it!  jejeje.

I'm sure it is not the size of the font that matters, it is how you use it!  ;-)  When I install fonts for gay people, I only use this one... Perhaps this is what Ron is looking for?

It's the only one I'm familiar with, and although I am usually quite gay in the morning, my feet and back hurt now from moving all the equipment and junk out of my office for the remodel.  I am anything but gay right now, perhaps even a bit malhumorado.

As far as hogs go, you might have to ask Gene about that.  Out in west Texas goats are all the rage...  jajaja.  But even then, I'm sure by definition there would be no homo- involved.  Technically I think that would be called "misdirected mating" or "reproductive interference".

Yes... you can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!

Guys, I love the humor, I really do.  But this non-gay font is killing these old eyes.  Give it up.  Point made.  😅
