The US State Department only just directed its employees to use Calibri for memos earlier this year. The State Department had been using Times New Roman instead since 2004.

Honestly, they have probably kept times new Roman for other things, as a serif font it's much harder to make the mistake between a capital I and a lower case l.

Ambiguity can cause problems.

At the same time, I agree, lmao.
