Typical article about type on the web

"Web Design is 95% Typography
95% of the information on the web is written language. It is only logical to say that a web designer should get good training in the main discipline of shaping written information, in other words: Typography." By Oliver Reichenstein.

What's important to me is to note that even type snobs aren't perfect: though he yearns for the day of the professional typesetter, he doesn't code carefully or proofread--otherwise he would have noticed his site says "Make sure you readthis article as well." with no space between 'read' (plain text) and 'this' (which is the first word in a link.)

Always fun to take these guys down a notch or two. :-)

Plus this guy needs to hang out with grammar snobs more: he's got lots of things that should be hyphenated by aren't, etc.
