Rotund=round (the extra "t" is for people that think they are cool with extra letters... sort of like people who type "colour")

Anyway, I like the new look. The only thing missing is "Mine's Bigger"

I don't think I'm cool. And I definitely don't write colour for color. It's not a spelling issue, it's a diction issue.

"Rotund" is just such a lovely word. It has more illustrative connotations than "round." In my opinion, connotations can often be more important than denotations, so I select words with that in mind. I realize most people don't really see the difference, but I do. It bothers me to use a word that does not precisely describe what I want to describe. Of course, I get stuck using less-than-perfect words all the time, but if I don't have to, why do it?

So, I think the font should be rotund, not round. A round man is just round, a rotund man is practically bursting at the seams. Round letters are just round, but rotund letters would be... bloated.
