Facebook font size reduced smaller

Facebook font sized is now tiny!

Facebook reduced its font size!

Facebook decided to reduce the size of their font just now. It’s really small, tiny even. It hurts my eyes.
Not only does this decrease readability, it also is pissing off a lot of people. The text is so small that I want to hurt someone.
Could this be related to election day? Possibly. But I’m just guessing.

Dear Facebook,
Please restore the font back to the normal size. Oh, and keep my status on the same line as my name. It looks horrible as it is now.
Thanks!

UPDATE:

To temporarily fix this annoyance you can increase the size of the facebook font by pressing Ctrl-+ (Control + Plus). This will affect all fonts on the page but it’s better than squinting!

Also, for those with a browser with a Javascript Console (such as Chrome users) you can use the following code to increase the font size:

for(i = 0, e = document.getElementsByClassName('messageBody'); i < e.length; i++) { e[i].style.fontSize = "12px"; }</span>

Chrome users can open the JavaScript Console with Ctrl+Shift+J. Unfortunately, this isn’t a permanent fix.
