    Did you know that Comic Sans and similar fonts are easier for dyslexics to read than standard fonts? The higher degree of asymmetrical characters helps. This discovery led to the development of fonts specifically meant to be easier to read by dyslexics such as dyslexie.

    I learned about this because one of my college roommates is severely dyslexic, but absolutely brilliant (he would memorize everything he read because it was easier for him to remember everything than to have to read it again).

    Comic Sans looks awful, but it is not all bad.
