Mai Kairong Posted October 14, 2005 at 06:28 AM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 06:28 AM This is a silly question, but hopefully an amusing one. What is your least favorite character to write? Mine is 關。 I know it's supposedly not a very complicated one, and certainly I know many characters with more strokes, but somehow 關 is always so awkward for me. So does anyone else have characters like that that they just hate to write? Quote
roddy Posted October 14, 2005 at 06:34 AM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 06:34 AM Interesting question. I hate anything with lots of curves -家 and 物, things like that. I find if very difficult to get those to look balanced. Roddy Quote
HashiriKata Posted October 14, 2005 at 07:46 AM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 07:46 AM My favourite least favourite character is 七。No matter how I write it, it always looks defiantly lopsided ! Quote

wushijiao Posted October 14, 2005 at 10:10 AM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 10:10 AM I think I'll go with 实. When I'm hungover, or not, I still sometimes get it confused with 买． Plus, if your going to choose a character to hate, it might as well be from the "shi" axis of evil, if you ask me. As for 家, I've always liked that character, remebering it as a dinosaur under a roof, making me think of the semi-popular Simpson's rip-off the Dinosaur's http://www.thalia.science.ru.nl/funpage/television/dinosaurs/ Quote
nipponman Posted October 14, 2005 at 11:15 AM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 11:15 AM Personally, I hate any obtruse characters. 凸 makes no sense, and the one with the inclave. Quote
skylee Posted October 14, 2005 at 12:58 PM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 12:58 PM I think 凹 and 凸 make perfect sense. Quote
Lu Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:15 PM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:15 PM 凸 and 凹 make perfect sense but they are a pest to write. Another least-favourite of mine is 勤. Ugly, and I can never remember the pronounciation so I have to look it up every time I need to type it. Quote
Yuchi Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:52 PM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:52 PM I get 更 and 便 confused sometimes. Quote
nipponman Posted October 14, 2005 at 09:05 PM Report Posted October 14, 2005 at 09:05 PM I think 凹 and 凸 make perfect sense. 凸 and 凹 make perfect sense but they are a pest to write. Well, they do make "sense" in the fact that their meanings are easily determineable. But What I meant to say is that they don't make sense as far as characters go. They are among a small class of "pictograph characters" which I don't like. MU4 (tree) is fine because it is a basic radical and doesn't really look like a tree. These things are obvious. Plus they are a pain to write. Quote
gougou Posted October 15, 2005 at 05:41 AM Report Posted October 15, 2005 at 05:41 AM Completely agree with Nipponman on 凸 and 凹 - and would like to add 丫. Quote
