Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!

I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I'd barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.

I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.

Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we're going with xitter, then it's full of xits, right?).

They sure did!

This just in: scientists disprove validity of thought experiment; philosophers remain concerned that they've missed the point.

Travelers were definitely securely on the ground. Upset, but secure.

So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.

Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.

But I'm also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

To me, that's even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it's expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

The "fi" combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing "xitter" being used, is it safe to assume it's pronounced "shitter"?
