style

(i removed the link to this page because i was no longer getting complaints, and it seemed petty, but despite reading in the papers not long ago that capital letters - only introduced into the language a few hundred years ago - are in rapid decline, i received another comment today...)

i've had criticism for not using capitals. i don't want to know - leave if it offends you.

• i like the way the text looks as it is, without capitals spoiling the rhythm.
• the english language does not need capitals. if these pages are difficult to read the blame is more likely to lie with my confused thinking.
• if reading text without capitals is a significant drain on your intellect, how can you begin to cope with the complex world that's out there?

this page then went on to say that otherwise things are intentionally plain. however, i've recently added css style sheets to change the font to something that looks prettier. i'm afraid these style sheets also fix the font size to something i like, but which some people find rather small.

if you want larger text the simplest thing to do (apart from reminding me about this, which could provoke a change) is either disable style sheets in your browser or increase your font size generally (i have used relative font sizes, which means that they will scale with the other fonts on your display).

[later] sorry, font size is now absolute again. if i don't do this, internet explorer and mozilla look very different.
