as a graphic designer, i try to remind fellow graphic designers that apart from circumstances and conversations specifically related to your craft, colloquial use is totally acceptable and that you shouldn’t be insisting on pointing out the difference between a font and a typeface, because no one cares and it’s annoying as fuck.
not to mention everyone knows what people mean when they say “font” so there’s no point in pedantic "ackshually"s. they just make you sound like a dick.
now that’s what i think about designers being pedantic about designer terms.
when people talk about pedophiles they clearly mean people who act on it; no one cares what’s in your heart or brain, that’s between you and your psychiatrist. it’s not even a legal term so it doesn’t matter in “life or death” situations.

idk what i can even say about your comment.
Precisely.
As a graphic designer you don’t deal in life or death situations.
when people talk about pedophiles they clearly mean people who act on it; no one cares what’s in your heart or brain, that’s between you and your psychiatrist. it’s not even a legal term so it doesn’t matter in “life or death” situations.
