@2ck I've used a TTY before. Kinda dumb things, really. But this was before mobile phones became mainstream. Even the payphones in the USA had TTYs built in, that was actually pretty cool. Not sure if those things still exist now that everybody and their granny got a mobile phone.

@DavidBond I don't know about you, but I see plenty of posts about it. Moreso when you use the Apple hashtag.

@louiscouture I always knew he was a bit of a dick! 🤣

@lydiaconwell I don't know if it is a good alternative to you, but I use Vivaldi.

@freemo Oy, asparagus is very easily overcooked. You just gotta steam them a few mins, really.

@zero Huh, is that coming up? Would probably make more sense to just increase the height upwards and put the sea level higher.

@freemo Is it not the other way around? Because the 2nd image has a readable w there? So the first should be the traditional one?

But what I'm actually spotting in the first image is: You wrote 'write' with the w and the r clearly dinstinguishable, just like I suggested you should do with the w and the z.

Oh, I think the way you added them to Mastodon made them reversed order. But my above observation still stands, the curly thingy of the w is of the w itself, and the r gets its own start.

Why'd you go for this font? ;)

@freemo But then in my eyes your z is invalid.

Just wondering, which of the forms is the r? I can't place it in any of the examples. I feel you've got one too much flourish there. The curve's the opposite, basically.

@freemo But then you have no dinstinction between the w and the n. :) So how do you know you're writing wonzers or wowzers?

Call in an expert! Pawn Stars style, within a few minutes someone gives us the backstory of it, if it is from the civil war, whether this is right or not, and then gives us the value!

@freemo The little 360 is actually the ending of the w there. You made it the start of the z instead, which means the w became an n.

@freemo Well, that's what I'm seeing and interpreting as in those examples you gave me. :D

But sure, call in an expert. I'm actually curious!

@freemo Even in roundhand I'm seeing the distinction. In my idea you should've added a little curly hookymooky whateveryoucallit between the w and the z. Something kind of like this that I wrote down quickly. Stupid pencil broke a few times.

@freemo The n and w are eerily similar. However, in the example given (which looks like it's sttttuttttterring, heh), the w has an ending that is up there, and the next letter starts separately next to that ending... in your writing the w is merged into the z (or the other way around), I think that should've been more separate. See how the w and the x are still distinct in the examples, not merged. In your case it would read wonzers, although the r seems pretty off to me as well. Looks more like the symbol for micro.

Sorry for the antfucking. :P

@freemo Are there many variations of the copperflate font? Because I imagesearch around, and so far I've not spotted any with the first 2 legs of the w glued together.

@freemo A bit?

I see either Wonzers or Nonzers... Both sound like nonsens to me.

@freemo The only time they're of use is when you put them in a little Swiffer suit, so you can mop them around.

Also, you might want to reword the first half of what you typed because I really don't know if they are or are not able to eat your face off...
