I saw this on Facebook, it’s an article from a 1997 issue of the Piano Technicians Journal. They had two veteran tuners tune two side-by-side pianos, one aurally and one with an ETD, and then had listeners do a blind listening test. I would imagine there are more recent tests like this with more recent technology, but I thought this was a fun read nevertheless. It almost made me wonder if this magazine is still in publication (perhaps online?)
It seems to me that a lot of people have lost their jobs for saying similar things about Charlie Kirk…
@Bernard said in Calibri v. Times New Roman:
can't believe that I wrote it was generally accepted that sans serif was easier to read in print! No, I meant serif was generally accepted as easier to read.
I actually wondered if that was a typo. 
@Mary-Anna said in Calibri v. Times New Roman:
My guess is that they felt the difference because serif fonts were what they were used to seeing.
I imagine this is a huge part of it.
Once when I was reviewing cover letters and CVs, I remember one applicant who used an odd (to me) font that I found incredibly hard to read. It was so distracting that I stopped and looked at the font for a while, trying to get used to it. I also tried to make sure that what I perceived as a lack of readability wasn't making me judge the contents more harshly. It was a serif font. It still doesn't make sense to me why I reacted to strongly. But I did.
I always tell my students to use TNR, 12 point, 1 inch margins and to not right-justify.
Also, have I mentioned that I hate Aptos? 
They started by bringing his gumbo to the hospital. Then they went out and helped find him a new apartment, right next to the restaurant, so the employees could always keep a watchful eye.
@steve-miller wow, you all are making fast work of it! Looks great!
@Piano-Dad said in What news media do you pay for/subscribe to?:
Like most academics, I'm a bit spoiled by having library access so I don't actually have to pay for lots of news sources (WSJ, for instance).
Same. WSJ is definitely one that comes to mind, and also CHE. Those are practically on speed dial in my browser when I go to the library page.
@Piano-Dad said in What news media do you pay for/subscribe to?:
This is not a random slice of the population, you know
No, but I'm more interested in this population than a random sample. 
@Steve-Miller yep, those are my complaints about WaPo and NYT.
@realplayer and @wtg my uni library provides access to tons of news outlets, but for whatever reason, they don’t have the Atlantic online version, which was why I ended up subscribing. I got one of those deals but I’ll have to decide whether to renew or not.

a five-year social media history
Separate from all the other reasons (and there are many) why this is just wrong, logistically how would it even work?
I have no idea what social media I was using five years ago. And FB is so screwed up, sometimes I can't find a post I made yesterday when I want to go look at it again.

We could use some new members, but he doesn't sound like a good candidate for WTF.
Good call!!!
