Russian handwriting
I’ll forever be amused at the Russian word “deprived” (лишили) in cursive, which looks like
for people wondering how the hell that works
I still don’t know how the hell that works.
See, to me it looks a lot like ‘minimum’ in English cursive:
Ok not so bad right? But it gets worse…

Can’t tell me that’s a word right? But it is! Sure you could dot the i’s, but would it really help?

Why the fuck would language evolve in such a completely illogical way like this
fuck every last bit of this
Humans invented writing as a way of communicating information and it’s pretty great on the whole but we maybe did not adequately prepare for depreciation in legibility
