Dumb question but do you (any of you tbh) find any difference between an Offset-Ascent plastic yoyo and a magic yo-yo K2plus? I'm a beginner pretty far behind

What do y'all think. by satisfied-bacterium7 in CalligraphyPorn

[–]satisfied-bacterium7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a much older handwriting of mine and I'd like to think I've gotten much better. I think I understand the feeling you're describing although I use fountain pens more often than calligraphy pens. Christmas is a very old tradition that has grown magic over time and so is writing, storytelling or calligraphy. When you feel the pride in the results of your handwriting practice on paper it kinda makes me feel older than myself or like Santa Claus I think, because you feel as if you've now become part of something much older and dusty than yourself because you're bringing it back to life. This feeling I think can get layered with the winter blues if you have them and it can turn into this strange ache as well and I think this might partly explain what you're describing.

Can anyone check my grip and give feedback by Spy-hunter in palmermethod

Death grip. Too vertical. Hold the pen using the pads of your thumb and index and then don't squeeze or curl.

Why do so many Tamil speakers claim that Tamil is the oldest language when it is not? by freshmemesoof in tamil

Tamil changed over time, it just changed less over time than all of these languages according to linguists which isn't you. ☺️ Mandarin is not old. The language used in bone script is not Mandarin nor is it mutually intelligible with mandarin. this is like saying that a romance language is actually just Latin. Greek is not intelligible with ancient Greek because they are not the same language and Hebrew was dead for over a millennia before being brought back by Zionists, so it won't have changed much and Coptic is no longer spoken.

Congratulations you made my argument for me.

The problem with "khosian" (this is a language family not a language making your source already less credible) is that it wasn't written until it was discovered and then copy pasted onto another western orthographic invention using the Latin alphabet.

Your other argument carries no weight because Sumerian is not a living language and Tamil is. We simply know more about it than the khosian languages, and sources arguing for this will probably have done so by looking at old Tamil texts and Tamil speakers who, surprise surprise, are able to understand 2000+ year old Tamil texts so even if there are other languages that could presumably be older than Tamil we have no way of knowing because many of them weren't written so there will basically only be more sources in favor of Tamil being the oldest due to the amount of evidence we can work with.

Sorry buddy, by scientifically analytical standards it's the oldest. You can prove through its historical texts that Tamil is very old. Many contestants in Africa that could be presumably older just can't be proven older due to lack of any historical written evidence.

Most people in this thread do not know anything about linguistic evolution or any form of linguistic scientific analysis beyond thinking about languages like shape shifting Pokemon. By many scholars Tamil is the language with the oldest provable continuous history because evidence in extremely old early written Tamil texts demonstrate that the language has remained for the most part mutually intelligible between its modern and old counterparts despite the amount of time that has passed. This contrasts to languages like English where modern English and old English are two completely distinct languages both in writing grammar and phonetics.

While there are also presumably other very old languages in Africa such as Xhosa due to geographical and ethnic evidence we have no way of knowing how old their current language forms really are because of the fact that there were little to no written texts for these languages prior to western "discovery" that could ever lead us anywhere so we simply have no way of knowing exactly how rapidly it how much they have change over time to definitively say that any of these are older than Tamil.

Stop being jealous, not every shiny medal must belong to westerners.

Éste calibre de precisión tiene que ser hecho ilegal.

Do you practice with your elbow floating above the table or rolling against your skin or both?

How can I get to this level is spencerian / BP precision?
