Feel a bit embarrassed about this, bearing in mind the length of time over an even greater number of years that I've been involved in tech pubs, but it's only just occurred to me why keycaps fonts are so called. If I'd ever thought about it, which I probably did (OK, I know I did) I'd've put it down to the capital letters they mostly are. While I dusted off the keyboard on the downstairs desktop this morning, it suddenly occurred to me that they were keycaps because they were the actual caps to the keys on the keyboard.

Earwormery
Jun. 3rd, 2017 03:22 pmJust out of interest, dear reader, have a question or two:
1. Is your earworm only occasional or pretty much constant?
2. Are there triggers that start your earworm?
3. Can you hear more than one track simultaneously?
4. Does your earworm play you particular tracks or arrangements of whatever tune it wants to irritate you with?
5. Does your earworm have a playlist?
Or, do you not have an earworm and not understand what the heck I'm going on about?
(For extra credit, what is the cure for a month-long infestation of early Chris de Burgh?)
