[Informatics] Data Analytics - How the Internet Talks

[Mark]

Hi Paul.

Thanks for that reference to FiveThirtyEight.

But, speaking of 'How the internet talks', I notice you're a "capital 'I'
Internet" person.
I happen to be a *lowercase* "internet" person.

I also pronounce GIF with a hard "G".
I wonder if you're secretly a "JIFF" man.

I hope we can still be friends.

Regards
Mark

P.S. Just don't tell me you like Comic Sans.
