Sexy… I wanna bang your hand.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah...I don't believe you this being handwriting.

(Jk, looks amazing. Almost like a font.)

[–] riskable@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ecksellent

(Work on that X 😁)

Otherwise, waaaaaaaay better than my handwriting. That's for sure 👍

Way better then mine

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Very lovely to look at

[–] CidVicious@piefed.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Little tidy for my tastes. My handwriting is very much chicken scratch.

[–] Sivecano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Perfectly legible. Personally I like to exaggerate the lines going up or down like the line going down in "q" and thi hook in the "g" a bit more. But I would not have noticed that you're not a native writer if I hadn't been told.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

It is very neat and pretty although the two ideograms for "author" seem different.

[–] hateisreality@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's a hell of a lot better than mine and I can only write in English

Decently readable, though some of the letter forms you've chosen could be confused for others ('a' is quite similar to 'o', 'f' could be confused for 't'). When I'm lettering for engineering/math I use engineering gothic letterforms which avoid these ambiguities, among others (I vs l vs ι vs 1 vs 7, a vs α vs o vs ο, O vs 0, q vs g, k vs κ, v vs ν, u vs μ, B vs 8). When I'm handwriting I just write chickenscratch unreadable to anyone else including my future self after a year or so.

[–] Flauschige_Lemmata@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not a native English speaker. But a native user of the latin alphabet.

Your handwriting is unusually neat. However if you want people to be nitpicky, that first "collection" looks a bit like "cotlection". And traditionally, the lines that go above or below the lines are 1/2 to 1 times as high as the distance between the lines

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Your handwriting is very legible, well done.

[–] Atlas_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Excellent! Lots of other people in thread have made minor corrections (that are mostly accurate) but you have a far more important thing - STYLE! Your penmanship has a great style made in part by those little differences! Don't change it so much you lose that

[–] notptr@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

很漂亮 Much better than mine. You can see an example of my handwriting in my post history.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago
[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Looks good to me.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

I genuinely thought that was digital. It's amazingly consistent, and extremely legible and readable. Good job!

But because I thought it was digital for a second (and I just woke up), I didn't realize it was a handwriting exercise, and was trying to figure out what this poem could possibly mean for a minute. Lmao

Good enough

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Which ones, the swiggly ones or the ones I van read.

(Both are supposed to be squiggly and unreadable)

[–] msokiovt@lemmy.today 0 points 3 weeks ago

My analysis on that is, despite the legibility being something odd, I can tell you put in the effort to spell the words you're using correctly. I can't even blame you for wanting to do something like that.

I take it you want some challenging words sometime soon?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 0 points 3 weeks ago

I think I'm glad that I don't have to write in Japanese. Also your English is entirely too neat and legible to be able to scrawl quickly.
