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 ¬¬)

Well played

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Do they not dot their i's in calligraphy?

Etterra ,

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.

9point6 ,

You do hobbies for fun, not making money, that's a job.

@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, also painters are obsolete, because AI permits even Cletus to be an artist

lauha ,

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.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

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

Well yeah, but it's not a calligraphy, it's just bad writing (and cursed word).

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:

drathvedro ,

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.

You can do it better, or use a nice font for your writings

repungnant_canary ,

Hmmm, since when handwriting is called cursive?

lolcatnip ,

Not all handwriting is cursive. Mine, for example.

damnedfurry ,

Isn't it clear?

No. :)

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)

For a second there, I saw it. Now it's just a fence again.

hydroptic ,

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw that "fence" is Tengwar:

The elves must really hate dyslexics

NauticalNoodle ,

the first thing that popped into my head was Russian cursive.

hydroptic , (edited )

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:

Cursive и being written like a u is just... ugh

hydroptic ,

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

Mr_Dr_Oink ,

Actually it says mmmiinu

@strawberry@kbin.run avatar

no its actually munimim. please dont comment if you dont know what you're talking about

Mr_Dr_Oink ,

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.

strawberry ,
@strawberry@kbin.run avatar

lol probably. eh as long as u got it :)

also what's typoglycemia

Mr_Dr_Oink ,

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.
