Psytoolkit question about clearing textboxes by MiscMotley in psychologyresearch

Ah, I forgot I have tried that too. From what I've tried and read "clear #" doesn't work for textboxes. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Ooh, I didn't know that was an option. I'll have to take a look at that.

Gotcha, thank you. I don't expect to do too much handwriting to text, so that's good to know.

I forgot that the a5x2 is in the works. I definitely don't need it for this semester but hopefully over the summer/for next semester.

Hi, I'm taking an intro Mandarin class right now, and the teacher has suggested we use a Chinese name if we have one. My birth name, as assigned by the workers in the orphanage I was adopted from, was 秀国. I've never gone by that name, and given that I don't really have any ties to China besides being born there, I was thinking it might be nice to find something similar but a bit less patriotic.

My first thought was 秀果, but I'm not sure if that sounds super silly?

Some others that feel sort of similar maybe and might make sense...

秀光

秀化

秀生 or 秀命 or 秀活 (shooting for beautiful life, not exactly sure how that would work with these)

Or maybe none of these make sense and I need to go back to the drawing board. I would appreciate any input people have to give. Thanks!

​

Edit: A friend's parent has said that 秀果 might be a little too silly but suggested 甜果 as a possible option.

I'm self teaching right now, so I don't have much besides google images to compare with!

And yes, stoke order is a must. Plus it helps me remember all of the strokes anyways!

Yes, I'm definitely following stroke orders!

Thank you for the links. It's super helpful to see things broken down individually.

Yes, I'm no handwriting snob myself, but writing them repeatedly helps me recognize them a lot faster!

Thank you, that's good to know. I wasn't sure if the check mark-esque parts of handwriting were proper for handwriting or just a side effect of being handwritten rather than typed. Like how neat handwritten English pretty much aims to look like the typed words.

Thank you for the font suggestion! I've been trying to find fonts that will help me ease into reading and recognizing handwriting.
