The display is a little crowded so we decided not to test it? Uh thanks. It's on sale for $450 today.

Wow, Wirecutter, please DO NOT recommend Plantronics. I ordered the ones you recommended and got a pair that don't charge. Contacted the company for support, and the past week has been like a Nathan for You episode. After filling out, not kidding here, pages of paperwork, and contacting the company twice for support because their buggy website doesn't work, the big reveal is that you have to pay for your own return shipping, and then they will "evaluate." Based on my experience so far, I wouldn't expect to ever see a working pair. Please recommend something else!

"Typography snobs are typically only typography snobs if they're in an industry which requires them to be typography snobs, like advertising or graphic design."

I could only read sentence #1 before thinking you understood misunderstood entirely. Many, many people in unrelated fields are typography snobs, and they shouldn't be. That's my point. Not that people in graphic design should, uh, know less.

It did occur to me. That's why I kept my thoughts to myself and collected them into an essay, which I then posted, with a descriptive title, on a website called "Thought Catalog."

Then you'd get a bunch of Gaby Dunn obituaries. There's a dead Justin Hook and it makes narcissism depressssssing.

More depressing, I mean.

Don't worry. I only make fun of these because I love them and have seen them SO many times. I actually think Rudolph is deeply flawed, and truly creepy, but The Grinch is an outright masterpiece (the original, obviously).
