Despite seeing it millions of times in pretty much every picture book, every novel, every newspaper and every email message, people are essentially unaware of the more common version of the lowercase print letter "g," Johns Hopkins researchers have found.
Most people don't even know that two forms of the letter -- one usually handwritten, the other typeset -- exist. And if they do, they can't write the typeset one we usually see. They can't even pick the correct version of it out of a lineup.
[...] Unlike most letters, "g" has two lowercase print versions. There's the opentail one that most everyone uses when writing by hand; it looks like a loop with a fishhook hanging from it. Then there's the looptail g, which is by far the more common, seen in everyday fonts like Times New Roman and Calibri and, hence, in most printed and typed material.

It's called PSYCHOLOGY. And it's our greatest science, it's the one that keeps our Country from turning into a shithole. It got me elected. Everybody's heard of Build the Wall, Lock Her Up, Drain the Swamp. People don't know this, we used Psychology for those. A little company called Cambridge Analytica, they tested those out. Psychology. And they told us which ads, which news, to put on the Social Media. We use Psychology when we do the extreme vetting, so we don't let in the immigrants who are going to turn into radical Islamic terrorists. We use Psychology when we torture the terrorists. So we always, always get the truth out of them before they lose their minds. And we use Psychology to decide what questions to put on our Census. And for the redistricting, the maps for the districts for Congress. So many times, Psychology makes the difference between WINNING & LOSING. So important!

Mod -1, Out of Character.
You used to be SO GOOD. I could read your posts hearing Trump's voice in my head, but as of late, less and less.
Best wishes, Mr. Baldwin.
