There are many crazy and far-fetched conspiracy theories that are made up every day. Conspiracy theories can be invented by anyone, especially in today's technology-driven society. Everything becomes questionable when evidence is provided on the matter. Even though these claims aren't always true, people go out of their way to make up nonsense that might prove it to be true. There are many theories that turn out to be false. Carefully dissecting every detail of the theory is the only way to know for sure whether it is true or false. Among all the interesting conspiracy theories are the sinister messages found in the Wingdings font. When NYC is typed in the Wingdings font in Microsoft Word, a skull, crossbones, Star of David, and thumbs-up hand gesture appear. Many believe this means approval of the killing of Jews in or from New York. There is also a theory that Microsoft inserted a hidden message from the September 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers into its Wingdings font. Some claim this to be true, and many of them are false. The acronym for New York in Wingdings Microsoft font raises concerns and worries many people. Microsoft denies any intent or credibility of the anti-Semitic message. They released a statement which included the following: "the conclusion was that the sequence in the Wingdings character set is a coincidence and that there was no malicious intent" (Glasner). With the number of characters in the Wingdings font, it's almost impossible not to come across acronyms or words that may appear to have underlying meanings. Microsoft also claims: "Taking the alphabet as an example, what would happen to existing documents and applications if we swapped a handful of letters?...... middle of paper ......s . There is evidence that Q33NY had something to do with 9/11, the Twin Towers attacks, the planes involved, or the bus route used to the airport from which the planes were diverted. It is very easy to take any information, twist it and make it into a completely different story or piece of information. Once a theory is made public, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and does everything they can to make it true, even if it isn't. If one takes the common sense and time to really think about the stupidity of this argument, it will become very clear to most people that this is a false conspiracy theory.
