My code has an English accent!

[Splanky222]

I was playing around with the font in my IDE and couldn't resist doing this to my code:

"I should say, that comparison does return true indeed! Come, we shall to the drawing room for some crumpets and Cool hWhip!"

Oh god put it back to a proper font.

Not far enough... make your background offwhite. Something to give a bit of weathered paper look to it. Then, normalize your find colors a bit... perhaps a nice sepia to replace the blue?

you should probably rewrite it to conform to this too: http://www.addedbytes.com/blog/if-php-were-british/

I had no idea an English accent could be represented by a font.

I am incredibly confused as to how this relates to an English accent & not just hard-to-read code.

This is OT, but I now find myself wondering if the US founding fathers had a British accent.

Edit: here's one answer.

My high school computer instructor taught us to use comic sans for all programming needs.

If you want britify you code why not just start coding in Shakespeare?

When your "joke" fails to make anyone laugh, or indeed make any sense whatsoever, you don't get to blame the audience for it.

I'm going to give this thread credit for introducing this post though.

The rules of typography indicate that this is not amusing, but instead vulgar. The style of a typeface should match its purpose; the monospaced typefaces have a functional quality that makes them far more suitable from every perspective than any other sort of typeface. You may accuse me of not getting the joke; I in turn reserve the right to dismiss you by indicating that you don't understand where you might derive humour from typography.

And what's wrong with Dingbats? Some teachers just don't keep up with the times.
