is there still anyone who can't read ¼ as 1/4?

Read WHAT as 1/4? And why do publishers

keep putting out cookbooks with faint green, beige or yellow type? What's wrong with clear-as-day, no-room-for-misreading BLACK?

 
what you're missing is a symbol for 1/4 as one character. most of us...

quit using the extended ascii symbols back in gail's days when so many people (it was a mac thing) couldn't read them.

so it's back to the drawing board.

 
It's an artsy thing, I think... like films that jump and twirl around and make you queasy.

Neither one would be done if they cared to ask the general consumer.

 
Actually I can read it (on a Mac). I was joking about increasing inability to

read tiny fractions. When a recipe says "Active time: 30 minutes" I always add 10 minutes for taking off and putting back on my glasses.
