This partially in response to "You are a stupid person for using comic sans."

For more of our greatest living raconteur on the subject of language, I cannot over-recommend his series of radio programmes, "Fry's English Delight."

He is one of the main reasons for my interminably meandering prose style. Difference is, he's good at it.

IMHO: the message is dandy, but I found the medium somewhat jarring. I had to switch to another tab in order to listen to Stephen Fry in peace. The visual style is just too suggestive of impertinent attention-grabbing TV ads, and unfittingly drawn-out for a speech of such a length.
