RE: Study shows difficult to read instructions decrease motivation

The rhetorical principles of choosing an unreadable font?

Am missing the rhetorical part.

Cheers,

Sean

Arroxane, thank you for sending this! It provides scientific proof of
what 
we've known all along. Not only were the rhetoric principles we learned
in 
school correct (for those of us with formal communications training),
but 
also...that it's not "just" formating. Formatting communicates
something! 
So--now we have a little something to show our less-convinced 
coworkers.... :-)
