Here’s one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about on the ride:
Isn’t it weird that the words

“plane”

and

“plain”

Because I don’t really even understand what I am talking about, I couldn’t find much about this confusing idea of mine, but I discovered some other fascinating (really!) wordy fun-ness, namely:

the quirkiness of Capitonyms

and

the beauty of typographic Ligature
