Can someone please Photoshop it and fix the keming
- keming
  
  kerning
  FTFY.
- Thank you
- 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.
  
  ... Hahahha?! You should contact the app developer thats silly and weird
- 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

Chinchilla in Russian cursive:
- 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:
  
  Its шиншилла
- Well yeah, but it's not a calligraphy, it's just bad writing (and cursed word).
- You can do it better, or use a nice font for your writings

- 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.
- Hmmm, since when handwriting is called cursive?
  
  Not all handwriting is cursive. Mine, for example.

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

Keming is a removed.

- Well played

Actually it says mmmiinu
- no its actually munimim. please dont comment if you dont know what you're talking about
  
  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.

Do they not dot their i's in calligraphy?

лишишь

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 ¬¬)

New metal band font dropped.

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

eschew obfuscation

Russian cursive

Isn't it clear?
No. :)

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.
- Not really the point of a hobby to be better than computers or make money with it.
  
  Imagine thinking a hobby needed to be useful.
- You do hobbies for fun, not making money, that's a job.
- Yes, also painters are obsolete, because AI permits even Cletus to be an artist
- Hobbies don't become obsolete dummy
  
  But obsolete jobs do become hobbies.
- 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
