Types
Plastic letters attached to small, thick rectangular magnets have been manufactured since at least the 1960s, and marketed as an educational product for young children. In the 1990s, sets of small sheet magnets printed with individual words became popular; these sets are used to create magnetic poetry. Magnets may be attached to souvenir objects, or to practical objects such as hooks, notepads, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word types:

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
