          It was a kerny joke about how in most fonts the r and n together read as an m, which is about kerning again.

            Oops, I remembered them backwards. I thought kerning was vertical spacing and leading was horizontal. You’d think I’d remember that from the typography class that I failed.

            Turns out that I was too incorrect to appreciate your joke. I appreciate it now, but can’t bring myself to laugh at it since it’s now saturated in my embarrassment. But your pun got a good chuckle out of me!

              Hah! I got a chuckle out of that, thanks for sharing your embarrasment. I hope it doesn’t linger too lonng, as it’s not that bad tbh.

              I’m glad the joke landed for one person at least, that makes it worth it.
