Huh. Weird. You made that comment. I didn't. sometimes my Lemmy glitches after I leave a comment it does things like this to me:
instead of posting my comment, it posts my username over somebody else's comment 🤔 It's a temporary glitch and It fixes itself after I exit then come back. I captured that screenshot to get evidence of the glitch before it fixed itself.
You're right. I should report this glitch. This is the first time I've been able to catch it and put it into words.
there are a few glitchy things about this app but those of us who are loyal to it are loyal suckers for sure.
I'm pretty sure there is an extra "picket".
Edit: I may be wrong, but I don't know enough about calligraphy to be sure.
No, there's not. I Zoomed in and scrolled it one letter at a time. It's the right number of pickets for minimum. It's just a horrible, horrible mind fuck. Lol
I don't know why that weird ass little gross thing is so appropriate but that is probably the best possible response lol.
Does Russian "chinchilla" begin with a ч? Or a ш?
If it starts with a "ch" sound as in "ч," chinchilla would look like this:
Yeah, Russian cursive is terrible. It's so bad than on a rare occaion I have to handwrite anything, I don't really expect it to be read by anyone.
This is actually a thing. When learning calligraphy, it was one of the exercises we did. If you have good enough control of your hand and pen, then all strokes should be the same length, slanted the same way, and separated by the same spacing. When you manage this apparent “unreadable” thing, it means you nailed it!
The example below comes from this site (not mine)
The first thing that popped into my head when I saw that "fence" is Tengwar:
The elves must really hate dyslexics
Ha, true, it can be almost as hairy as Tengwar especially if you write nonsense. Quick, name all the letters:
edit: made it worse
revenge of the edit: "minimum" isn't exactly easy to read either:
I think you arw getting downvoted because people have misread your comment and think you didnt get my joke. The irony being that you clearly did get my joke and actually joined in on the joke with your comment. I think your spelling is too much like typoglycemia.
Its a made up word for that thing where as long as the first and last letters of a word are in the right place, the rest can be a mess but you can still read what it says.

Also nice the calligraphy used in Germany until 1941, the Sütterlinschrift
But one of the best is arabic calligraphy (I think that I can even read it ¬¬)
It's a pretty obsolete hobby, as we have computers and printers that can do the exact same thing in a fraction of the time. I know people do it as an art form, which is fine I guess, though you're not gonna sell prints, get published, or end up in a museum no matter how good you are at it.
Someone is definitely making a buck with all those calligraphy books and supplies.
Do you measure all your hobbies with possibility of making money? I mean, that is not a hobby, that's work then.
Same reason I don't exercise: I'm never going to make money with my running skills.
The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, "fine fining" menus, and corporate award certificates
