My Bio:
|
I get very neurotic about the little tiny details of my handwriting. It must be PERFECT. I like to write words over and over, experimenting with different curvatures, angles, speeds, descenders, ascenders, ligatures, fountain pen nibs, inks, etc.
I've filled out several pages by practicing lowercase gammas, kappas, deltas, phis, psis, xis, and zetas. I've slaved over the integral sign and the partial derivative sign. I differentiate lowercase epsilon from the element of sign, alpha from the proportional to sign, and capital delta from the laplace operator. I'll erase a fraction if the numerator and denominator aren't balanced. I pad all formulas with the right amount of whitespace. My equals signs MUST be well aligned, and subcalculations are clearly indented. I NEVER, EVER forget a vector sign. Same goes for operator hats. I cringe whenever I see a tilde on top of a variable, and squeal with glee whenever I get to write time-derivative dots.
I'm still not satisfied with my German esszets, even after all these years. Writing pleasing, flowing Arabic has been an impossible challenge. I still can't get the right curvature on that downward stroke of my Katakana fus—bollocks to everyone who simply writes them like angular sevens. And people who chop up the Devanagari "clothesline" make me want to cry.
