A quick note on this week’s Praxis II showcase, in which, as last year, UofT engineers worked on various engineering/design problems for the TTC: When a team redecorates a subway station from scratch even though the assigned task was to reduce heat loss from that station, don’t be surprised when somebody who actually knows the difference asks you “Why in God’s name did you change the font?”
“I don’t think we did” isn’t an answer to that question, neither is a claim that Gill Sans is Futura. Nor is such a distinction “semantics.”
Hence, no, Valentin Peretroukhin, this invited guest did not squeak around on his high horse chair jerking off on your project. Picking fights you can’t win is never a good idea, particularly when you stand to sink your colleagues with a letter grade of D as a result. (Spoiler alert: You only barely passed.)
Surely this puts you on the career track at Lavalin, does it not, Valentin?
