#teeline question:

The word "defund" is tricky, as the way I would expect to write it in teeline would be the same as "defend". I know you can sinetines use a vowel indicator to disambiguate in such circumstances, but the indicators for U and E are identical, aren't they?

I'm not sure this is a case where context would necessarily clear it up either.

Thoughts?



So, while there is a #FountainPen community here in the fedi, is there a #teeline community?

@Seven βœ¨πŸ‚βœ¨ For me, it's part practical, part just because it's cool. I have ADHD and sometimes my brain runs faster than my hand can write. I tend to type notes, but I don't always have a keyboard handy.

I also like being able to write notes without having someone read over my shoulder... unless of course they happen to be a British journalist, which is unlikely in Canada.



Just did some #teeline (shorthand) practice. Looking at what I'd written, you might think I'd suffered a stroke or something, but that's more or less what it's supposed to look like.


Now that I've broken out my #FountainPens again, I find myself wanting to take another crack at learning #teeline (shorthand).

So I've decided that I'll be giving my business to my local(ish) fountain pen store instead. It's a bit of a drive, but I prefer to support local businesses where I can.

Oh God,

I'm back on the Goulet Pens web site.

I'm normally pretty non-materialistic, but this never ends well for my wallet.
