Equipment - If i actually manage to not lose the i, i wind up with a very short p.

 

^^^^

 

Yay, more stuff to practice!

 

Ok, now you have to expand our "sentence." I can't wait to see what you come up with, my brain truly fried itself back in the "gh" addition.

 

 

 

 

ponders how long the world's ugliest writing exercise sentence will eventually end up being...

 

 

Scribere est agere.

To write is to act.

Ok, first of all, good God that sentence was torture! Secondly, why is syzygy so freaking difficult? :blink:

 

I always have problems with "c" and "x."

I always figured it was the five descenders in a row (at least in cursive hands)...

...the Galileo probe based in Mississippi for the minimum of errors.

So far, this is the sentence I have:

 

Disturbed by his colleagues' lack of enthusiasm, again and again the Egyptian

astrophysicist visiting the observatory in Mississippi analyzed the multi-part

transcription of telecommunications from the Galileo probe for the minimum of

errors and maximum of syzygy, murmuring nervously over the unerring interference

from the unnerving rumble of the mummers' minivan in the nunnery next door

as a neighboring Afghani analyst coughed lightly while weighing his thoughts

over straightening a spaghetti-code-laden program designed for intergalactic

exploration blighted by oversight before getting his prized midnight snack of

yoghurt and doughnuts

 

And I propose the following added to the end:

 

from the equipment room icebox.

 

Time to practice and post. I can now at least say "syzygy" without it sounding like "scissor-gee". Progress (albeit of the unwritten kind)!

Good grief! :yikes: I'm not certain I could even type that and have it come out straight, never mind write it longhand, legibly (BTW, legibly is another word that's difficult to write well).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
