Did y'all see what some "designer" did to poor Pope Francis' Tomb??

There's no significance to the spacing; it is just his name in Latin. For thousands of years people will have a glimpse into the dark ages of computer kerning (I hope that's what it was!!)

 

[Boudica]

I hope they replace that.

If the smoke is purple, they have elected a new graphic designer.

 

[Texas_Signmaker]

They had AI draw that up

Maybe the person who used to restore priceless 19th-century paintings has now moved on to marble etching/blasting?
Never stop learning.

I see more and more of bad kerning every day. Aren't they teaching this stuff anymore? Also I'm noticing typo errors in printed media - legal documents, books, websites, etc. What ever happened to the old saying "cross your T's and dot your I's". The details matter. The scary part is when doctors overlook things, like which organ to remove.

My mother-in-law brought it to my attention, I didn't know it wasn't one word the first time I saw it. Then when she told me what it was suppose to say (FRA NCISC VS) I about lost my mind laughing!

I think a lot of people are self taught because the computer programs are so easily accessible and easy to learn. It drives me nuts when I see bad kerning. Here and there I've been in a hurry and I'm like...OMG what the hell did I just print!!

Francis was his stage name, his real name was Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

 

[Stacey K]

Is this real? I mean...why didn't they just kern it right away instead of going through the trouble to make a note?

 

[Boudica]

Francis was his stage name, his real name was Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

And before he became a priest and then the Pope he was once a bouncer at a nightclub. Interesting guy.

I cannot help but think we are moving more into an era portrayed in the movie "Idiocracy"

Agree...and kids don't learn cursive anymore so that's something that will be gone. My oldest son has a decent signature but my youngest looks like a kindergartner and he's 20! I must've skipped that part during parenting LOL

They don't tend to learn anything anymore, other than the political views of the teachers and especially profs.

 

[Johnny Best]

today's kids know an awful lot. Just ask them something you need to fix with your IPhone.

I disagree with this, having multiple teacher's in my family, they steer away from politics with students. I had no professors in college try to influence me politically, they were just teaching their subject of specialty. Only those classes dealing with political science or philosophy would deal with any political views, and in those cases that is what you were signing up for.

That's the thing. They insidiously build their political or philosophical biases into the subject material, no matter what it is. The naive college student cannot see it and just absorbs it as truth.

I guess it's pronounced "Fraaaaanciiscvvvs."

No, they do not stay away from that. There were lawsuits at the local HS over that very thing here and the main college has lost funding over several of those things now. What you are talking about is what I had to deal with (but I also had a portion of time before the department of ed actually existed) and we didn't know what was going on with the teachers. Given the amount of teachers that are now being caught doing hands on sex ed ( one here has a bun in the oven, hard to argue with that) with a 14 yr old (at the time of the "lesson")).
