Why do siddurim, particularly older ones, always have random sized letters for each paragraph? AFAIK the only siddurim that use a single sized font throughout, are Artscroll siddurim.
For the same reason your heart constantly expands and condenses. It's a sign of life.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Make sure you're paying attention.

There's nothing comparable to a seder. For without it, the world and all that's in it would cease to exist.

"Organization" as in being organized. I assume that's what he meant, he can correct me.

The square nekudos they fixed. But their siddurim are still not accepted at the major yeshivos.
