Did Microsoft steal its fonts from the Turkish army? (2012)

Well, this is a company doing the appropriation, so doesn't it make a lot more sense to use the term "borrow"? It wasn't some individual stealing the intellectual property of a poor corporation. A corporation just trying to create jobs and wealth for the little people.

This is a corporation acting toward a government entity so steal is a bit harsh. Everyone knows companies are better than governments and individuals. Therefore Microsoft clearly borrowed fonts from the Turkish army.

I did. Apparently that was too tongue in cheek at the ridiculousness of the title. Tongue through cheek I suppose. I am happy it gave you the opportunity to feel good about yourself.

We strongly disagree on the title.

Fair, but it's worth remembering how hard it is to convey sarcasm via text.
