For about half a year son of mine has worked on a prescientific paper on drugs. 59 pages, brought to the bookbinder this morning, because tomorrow will be the big date of delivery. When home from school son picked up the book where he would have found the formal guidelines, if he had been inclined to read aforementioned passage. He had not done so. Guidelines required Times New Roman solely. Son opted for Calibri. I opted for a hysterical fit. Tomorrow: da capo! Fortunately bookbinders here are cheap and chronically underemployed!

Ahaha, kids, what can you do. I would have reacted in a hysterical fit too. Hopefully it all ends well. Somehow we all survived and managed to do okay and I am sure that the kids will too.

Oh no! I would have used Calibri from choice, too - I find times New Roman difficult to read by comparison.

But he will know to check all the guidelines next time!

Let's hope so, by goodness!
