Your skill at calligraphy is nothing short of amazing Black Hand. Wish I had the patience to learn it myself.

Quiet, man! We can't stop here! This is Black Hand country! Little devil buggers will be penny anteing us for compliments all night if we're not careful! Here, take this italic nib pen and draw a straight line downwards with the pen at a forty-five degree angle, and take this fistful of pills, and don't you dare ask me what they are! Congratulations, you're now a calligrapher too. Jumping Jehosaphat! Monitor Lizards! Now we're done for!

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 27 2013, 07:32 AM) Blackieīs calligraphy isnīt hard to read for me Handwriting and the ability to read it are important skills that should be considered Major skills, not Minor or Misc skills! -I HAVE SPOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!! I think it was hard to read because the text was rather small, rather than KoB's illiteracy. I certainly had to squint a lot.

QUOTE(Elisabeth Hollow @ Nov 27 2013, 12:00 PM) KoB also has dyslexia. So for him to be able to read calligraphy script at all is a small feat of its own. Remember that next time you make a snide remark about someone's abilities to read something.
I didnīt make a snide remark on Kobby, I was rather commenting on how schools more and more take away learning handwriting and instead replace it with typing on a keyboard. Itīs the same in Merica as well as in Sweden. I would never ever mock anyone here. This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 27 2013, 12:47 PM

QUOTE(Elisabeth Hollow @ Nov 27 2013, 01:01 PM) The way I read it sounded like you were taking a shot at him, and everyone knows that's a no-no. I will rip anyone a new one lol. Don't care who you are. And I still get that impression. But if you insist that's not what you meant, accept my apology.
I would never do that to anyone. Just to clarify again, I did not take a shot at him. Didnīt even remember he was dyslexic. If anything I took a shot at the education system and the turns it has taken. I donīt want anyone to think I was being an ass to Kobby. Heīs my friend and I like him, as I do with everyone else here. Therefore, apology accepted This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 27 2013, 01:38 PM

I think we simply saw a minor misunderstanding, for I would join Liz in condemning any swipes taken in snideness at Kobby. I read Kobbys challenge as being that calligraphy is, in fact, harder to read than normal cursive or printed text and that the sample provided was quite small. Happily, Black Hand graciously provided both a larger sample as well as a printed transcript. I read mirocus comment as not being directed toward Kobby at all, simply a lament for the gradual disappearance of cursive writing in general. Just as we have never seen even a hint of snideness from Kobby in any of his +10K posts here, I have never seen a hint of snideness from any of mirocus +10K posts on the BethSoft forum or his +5K posts here. Although possible, I dont think this knowledge shades my glass half full / optimistic perception of this exchange. Nevertheless, as Liz has wisely said more than once, emotion, motive and intent is hard to convey on a forum with short, quick-moving posts. Im pleased to see that a bit of amplifying discussion brought some clarity. Does anyone need a cup of coffee?
