It's not a one man's crusade, it affects legibility and creates
dissonance within the text.

It's my blog and i'll do as *i* please.
After posting this yesterday i've so far had 9,900+ people visit
this article (with 96.90% being new visitors). Good exposure for
D i think. :)
I've written a new blog post highlighting hidden treasure found
in the D standard library. I love finding this stuff so i've
shared my latest discoveries hoping to ignite some curiosity out
there.
I've put it on reddit so vote up! :)
