              Ok that’s hilarious.

              In a few decades maybe it’ll officially be “keming”

      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.

        I did it on my phone, so it’s not great. But it might help show the letters.

        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

    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)

        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:

            At least shapewise it’s like close-ish; the one that really gets my goat is how the fuck does т turn into m.

    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.

      The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, “fine fining” menus, and corporate award certificates
