Did this to my "friend," and I must say it really hasn't had the intended effect. He's still ''happy'' and ''normal''.

The originial transcript in the html is:
 
 
 
[[Some IDIOT used a font with TERRIBLE kerning on the side of a building for a sign labeled &quot;CITY OFFICES&quot;.  Only.. you aren&#39;t even frickin&#39; sure because of this terrible kerning, as the &quot;C&quot; and the &quot;I&quot; in &quot;CITY&quot; have waaay too strong kerning. And so do the &quot;C&quot; and the &quot;E&quot; in &quot;OFFICES&quot;, to the point that it actually looks like TWO words.  And the I and the C are so close together, they almost look like a freakish K!  Two people stand in front of this sign. One notices all these obvious flaws, while the other exists in peaceful ignorance.]]
 
Person 1: *Argh*!
 
Person 2: what?
 
If you really hate someone, teach them to recognize bad kerning.

Google is still showing the words "kerning" and "keming" in search results with one pixel of letter spacing added and removed respectively as of the time of writing. It should be noted that this isn't really kerning as such, just variable letter-spacing for the whole word [[User:AmbroseChapel|AmbroseChapel]] ([[User talk:AmbroseChapel|talk]]) 04:16, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 
 
 
Oh my god I hate when that happens! Probably my OCD. [[User:StillNotOriginal|Still<sup>Not</sup>]][[User talk:StillNotOriginal|<sup><sub>Original</sub></sup>]] 13:43, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
Microsoft Word has extremely bad kerning. Every time I use it, there's at least one case where I suspect a missing, duplicated or misplaced space. Just look at this abomination: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bFVXEMo1Tio3pPrXvszN-_dFjUkNhyk2<br>
 
There are 5 pixels before the comma and 5 pixels after the comma, even though there's supposed to be a space after it, but not before it. [[User:Fabian42|Fabian42]] ([[User talk:Fabian42|talk]]) 11:07, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
