Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The text of the Ten Commandments ... shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.

Comic Sans it is.

How is Wingdings "easily readable"?

How about Arabic? Or Chinese, simplified Chinese is read by like a billion people, so clearly easily readable, it even has simplified in the name!

Wouldn't work. The law clearly specifies the exact text, and it's in English.

Can you write English with Chinese characters?

People certainly try with Cyrillic. And kanji?

Cyrillic seems really difficult with all the vowel shifts, English doesn't even make sense in its own alphabet. Something like "Ай эм де лорд, дай год." then?

It is easily readable wingdings. It doesn't say it has to be easily understood or interpreted.
