I was surprised about that too, since titanium dioxide is so much
more expensive than other white pigments; I would have expected them
to use some kind of chalk for the whitener. But I went and looked at
my can of acrylic gesso, and sure enough, PW6.

Dorks are still dorks, it's nerds whose image has improved in the
last 10-15 years. And nerds aren't necessarily dorks. But I have a
different definitiion of "dork" I think, because you said they used
to be jerks, and to me dorks were never jerks, they're more like
awkward adolescent types, not very smoothly socially adjusted.
