WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO EDUCATION Since 1895 ?

I use color
and fonts of different sizes
( presumably, as envisioned by the creators of this forum )
to make my point more clear
and ez to understand.

I use them as a man wud
raise n lower his voice
during oral debate,
as well as use body language,
to get his arguments across more clearly.

That does not produce illegibility.
