Olde Tyme America

This is probably not news to some people, but in older typography, the "s" was often made in something of and "f" shape. For one of my classes (American Lit. before 1900) I have to write a paper on a newspaper from the Revolutionary War Era, when the "s" as an "f" fad was really in.

Yeah, I can't stop reading the paper in a lisp.

For Heaven's fake, avail yourfelf of the precious moment; put an end to the delufion, exert the voice of a brave, virtuous citizen, and tell the people at home that they muft immediately refind all their impolitic, inquitous, tyrannical, muderous acts; that the muft overtun the whole frantic fyftem, or that they are undone.

It makes this project both infinitely more amusing, and infinitely more difficult.

AND I just realized I haven't posted in over a month oops. Basically I'm in school, I'm playing my way through Pokemon Yellow, and I am super tired all the time.

!too tired to figure out better tags
