Whenever I go in for labs, I would love it if they sent me a reminder to save my pee up for the event.
Or at least give me a beer while I wait.
I guarantee this company has this mat.
My wife has since gotten rid of it, but I absolutely loved my welcoming mat that said "Hi, I'm Matt!"
I think our current one shows a pumpkin and says "oh my gourd, you're here!"
I have one that says "HOWDY! I'm Mat. I'm on howdy duty!"
wine? That took too long to read.
Pfft, reading that doormat was a piece of piss...
A piss of cake
Surely you meant "Urine luck".
A common oversight.
I always keep a little bit on me just in case
"Hope you brought wine"
Yeah but that is not really an r anyway.
Well, it basically is, but if it is, there's no i. I write cursive rs like in the picture, and I'd write "wi" with a bit of a lower droop between the "w" and "i" to make that clear.
Yeah the part where the r is supposed to be is just not a letter. My r's are more like if you cut the second half of the n off or if you took a v and just squished it together so it has no space in the middle
What you described isn't a cursive "r" though. Here's the cursive alphabet:
The "r" there looks very similar to the second half of the "w" and the "i" of you don't have a clear drop between the peaks in the "r". The real issue IMO is there isn't a clear drop between the "w" and the "i" to make it clear they're separate letters.
Your image is irrelevant as is the first part of your comment since this is the cursive we are taught.
I do agree however that the way the word in the image is written is just wrong.
What the fuck kind of alternate universe cursive is that?
An alternate universe where other languages exist
Inconceivable
Shush the other languages might hear ya.
Other languages that are in OP's picture of a doormat?
Why is that alphabet missing letters? There's no q, w, x, or y. And you have a funky C and S. How would you write "wine" without a "w"?
I'm starting to think that maybe this isn't the English alphabet and doesn't relate to the post at hand... 😉
And yet it relates to the comments you made. I never would have gone looking for this image if you had just accelted the way I write my r's. This image relates to a whole different discussion that appeared in the comments
Sure. My point is that the say English speakers write cursive Rs is relevant to the image. How another language does it isn't particularly relevant.
What language is that BTW? It looks Slavic, but I can't put my finger on which one it is.
Yes the english way is different. I just showed how we are taught to write when you told me my way of writing r is not correct.
It is Slovenian. But pretty much all the southern slavic languages write latin cursive the same way. (Of course they also have other letters but you get the point)
That's an interesting bit of trivia I'll have to bring up with my Macedonian and Bosnian/Herzogovinian coworkers.
When writing English in cursive, would you adopt the English style or just add the English letters? Cursive is such a weird, niche thing that I find this difference completely fascinating.
Well pretty sure serbian and croatian usw the same since when I looked for slovenian on duckduckgo it kept also giving me serbian resulta since some of the words are the same for my search term used.
When we started discussing cursive in like I think 3rd year of learning english we only added Q,W,Y,X and w is not really anything mindblowing. Also is there really any difference apart form the r?
f, p, z, I, G, and S all look a bit different. They're recognizable, and in most cases, your version is more similar to the non-cursive version and thus more recognizable.
I would commend them on their dedication to proper cursive except they broke it with the 'b' and 'r' in brought.
Coolest part is that you don't have to put it in front of your door.
It could be your neighbors door, or a random strangers.
And a comma splice
