Nemesis
Courier New, 12 point, is pure evil. It makes Arial look small. It turns a 5 page paper into 8. It allows only 6 words per line. It relishes bumping the 13-letter topic of your paper to the next line. It taunts you with its ridiculous spacing between letters. It laughs at your efforts at conciseness. It mocks your page limit, as it discusses the preferability of word count limits. It wallows in its largeness, ridiculing standard fonts like Times New Roman. It haunts you.
(sighs in resignation)
