zipWith meme issues

Name: Anonymous 2009-04-06 11:55

When using zipWith to join multiple words, please note that it is improper to use only a [sup] tag and not also a [sub] tag. Without the [sub], the ``bottom'' word is sized disproportionately to the ``top'' word.

Compare:
SCUURMPSRHIOSTE
SCUURMPSRHIOSTE

Note how, in the former (incorrect) example, the two words are different sizes, and the baseline of the ``top'' word undesirably overlaps the cap height of the ``bottom'' word. In the second (correct) example, the two words are visually separated, of consistent sizes, and are overall more aesthetically appealing.

They're not quotes at all. ` is grave. Not apostrophe. ` goes above letters as in è. It isn't punctuation at all and duplicating it doesn't make it punctuation either. Also, it's asymmetric, which makes it naturally aesthetically unpleasing to those with a functioning concept of balance. On most non-monospace fonts, it also puts an abnormally large gap between letters.

There are countless other reasons too, but that's essentially why.
