ash48So. I've been in a rotten mood all day - for some unexplained reason, (which I hate because I am usually such a happy, bouncy thing) and I've finally had my mood lifted by this ridiculous product.
I won't explain how (or why) I came across this... But. IS THIS REAL?? Really? Did people buy this? It amazes me that someone actually designed this thing. And then someone marketed it. (if you can call this marketing...). And then someone created a jingle for it. This product probably employed a lot of people. Sheesh. (Or am I just being a grumpy old young woman?!)
Also. Why have I, after 3 years on LJ, only just discovered Rich text? (By accident). I've been in HTML mode forever. It looks like rich text just... does it for you. Does it? Is every one in rich text mode? Have I been coding all my italics and strikes etc. all this time and I could have just hit a button?? /o\ (though I haven't figured out how to cut text yet in this mode....)
Now I'm feeling old and stupid. Uh oh. Yuk mood is back. I better go and watch that ad again. :)

Rich text can do basicially all the symbols show you. I like it that you can change the size of the writing and the colour just with a click of a button. :)
