iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’ve only got you and oona with direct responses so far and no. But Merriam-Webster has long e (or short i, I guess) first

Probably? I’m not totally sure, “feral” is an interesting word because it had a separate option to pronounce it with a long e. And I don’t know whether that’s regional or not

Wait that’s not true lol. -ant and -ent are the same, at least in Paris

Some people use something more like a schwa in place of short e before r, but it sounds like you don’t

Yeah it’s tricky! To be clear I fully have what’s called marry-Mary-merry merger but it sounds like you merge marry and Mary but not merry. I think that’s kind of unusual (more common would be to merge Mary and merry bit not marry) but it may be more common in regions I haven’t lived in

Interesting! Followup: what about the first vowel in furry? Is that a different vowel, or is it the same as one of the ones in fair/ferret?

Janes would you also say barrel doesn’t rhyme with either option?

Siri make it clear it’s a joke. But not too clear

Same sound for me but that makes sense

Nowhere near as hard as the good look you should take in the mirror

the thing is people look at me weird when I'm eating because I get a huge mouthful and work on that for a bit and they're grossed out but what they don't get is like what if.. me and the chipmunk I invited on my podcast (simultaneously): what if you need to run from predators chipmunk: right, yeah

I don’t think that would be necessary though? Wouldn’t EY just need to argue the post was published with reckless disregard for truth?

Interesting session today. I feel like I’m back to learning a lot very quickly

一x72
It’s far from perfect but in some of them I managed to get the downward-pointing wedge on the left; in some I managed to get the more difficult upward-pointing wedge on the right with continuous edges; and in some I managed to get a very slight frown curve, very slightly tilted upward to the right

乙 mostly
I didn’t come close to getting the corner right on this one but the scoop/hook looks good on a few of them

二x30, 十x36, 约约化化群群 (or really 羣羣)
I just felt like I was learning a lot in the process of practicing 十. Mostly about balancing stroke width and character position. And some of the stroke entries/exits look okay

A page from 田英章毛笔楷书2500字 showing 群 (written in the style of 欧阳询, i.e. like 羣)

Unlike the Adobe Kaiti characters I’ve been copying before, these images are facsimiles of brushstrokes and I’m finding it much easier to learn from them

Also I loaded up my brush with a ton of ink and I think it helped! It’s more of a pain to clean, and it probably won’t last as long because I don’t know how to get all the ink out of the bases of the fibers, but it’s worth it

Probably, but… maybe not? Isn’t middle English already the standard?
