    I am all for the proliferation of (Weird) Al in everything, particularly when using sans-serif fonts.

      Since everybody wants AI cancelled nowadays, that’ll just be… Weird.

        I hadn’t heard about this. Somehow it doesn’t surprise me though.

          I think they’re saying people want to cancel ai, not AL - and playing on how in most fonts capital i and lowercase L look the same.

              I think that was the commenter’s intent, so don’t feel too bad
