I did a little more digging and I think I may have made a mistake in my pangram; though in IPA, "small" can be pronounced with either ɑ: (Ah) or ɔː (Aw), all Quikscript dictionaries that I've found specifically use Aw. For the sake of consistency between other Quikscript users, I have amended my pangram, and in doing so actually made it MORE efficient!

Ah, what j-oi she (the g-ay w-ih-ch) y-oo-zh-oo-uh-l-[ih] f-ow-n-d b-ai p-ue-t-ing h-eh-ks-z on eh-gz-ah-k-t-l-[ih] TH-r-ee s-m-awe-l v-o-l-z Ah, what joy she (the gay witch) usually found by putting hexes on exactly three small voles!

Now there are only 9 redundancies across 51 characters, as I was able to remove the Utter and No in "unusual", though I did end up moving the It from "in" to make "usually"

Sadly, I don't think it's as fun to not qualify the hexes as unusual, but it is better than saying "usual hexes." That would be objectively better for saving characters, at 50 w/ 8 redundancies, but it would sound awkward and be conceptually a little boring in my opinion, and I just won't stand for that

I also added in brackets so anyone using this for handwriting practice can get experience with the unique way they're written in Quikscript! If anyone has any suggestions for how I can further refine this or anything else I can add to it, like a way to incorporate Loch or Llan, I'm all ears!

This company is starting to show me like..... it's really that easy to just make your own product and sell it. I literally already have an LLC so what's stopping me...... it doesn't even have to be a good product just marketable. My ideal company would be called quickscripts and just be like a bunch of python scripts that makes it easy to automate day to day tasks. Like so when you put in your pto it automatically puts in your OOO email with the right dates and times, shit like that. It'd take me like 1 hour to throw together lmao

Trying out Quickscript with my name in Vietnamese. It cuts the amount of strokes in half.

Writing systems

Alternative scripts and notation systems

In this post, I explained the different writing systems in the world, including alphabets, syllabaries, and semanto-phonetic scripts, but there are alternative scripts and notation systems.

Alternative spelling systems

These writing and spelling systems are alternative ways of writing English and other languages. Most are designed to make it easier to learn how to write English.

Benjamin Franklin’s Phonetic Alphabet consists of all the lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet, minus c, j, q, w, and y (which Franklin considered redundant), plus six new letters for sounds which he believed lacked unambiguous orthographic representation (cɩ for /ɔː/ and /ɒ/, ɥ for /ʌ/, ի or ̊ի for /ʃ/, ŋ for /ŋ/, ⱨ for /θ/, ˇh̢ or ᷄h̢ for /ð/).

Much as the imperfections of the alphabet will admit of; the present bad spelling is only bad because contrary to the present bad rules: under the new rules it would be good—the difficulty of learning to spell well in the old way is so great, that few attain it; thousands and thousands writing on to old age, without ever being able to acquire it. ‘Tis, besides a difficulty continually increasing; as the sound gradually varies more and more from the spelling: and to foreigners.

The Deseret alphabet was devised as an alternative to the Latin alphabet and developed during the 1850s at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah) by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon. The name “Deseret” is taken from a word in the Book of Mormon and means “honeybee”. It reflects the Mormon use of the beehive as a symbol of co-operative industry.

This is what the alphabet looks like.

Dialectal Paleotype was developed by Alexander J. Ellis to represent the dialects of English during the 1880s. The total number of symbols is over 250, some of them are the following:

He was whining away, says she, for all the world like a sick child, or a little lass in a tizzy.

The Pitman Initial Teaching Alphabet (i.t.a) was invented by Sir James Pitman to make it easier for English-speaking children to learn to read English. However, since it is based on Received Pronunciation, people with other accents find it difficult to decipher and the transition to the traditional orthography can be difficult for children as well.

The alphabet consists of 42 letters, including 24 standard Latin letters.

Quikscript was created by Kingsley Read, who also created the Shavian alphabet, to improve various problems with the latter. There are two written forms: Junior and Senior. The letters in Junior Quickscript are mostly unconnected, with the exception of a few common dipthongs. Senior Quickscript is the semi-cursive “official” form of Quickscript: many letters have alternate forms which allow words to be handwritten with fewer lifts of the pen.

Junior Quikscript

Senior Quikscript

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

The Shavian or Shaw alphabet is named after George Bernard Shaw, who created a competition to create a new writing system for English, since the official one was according to him, a waste of time, energy and paper. There are three types of letters: tall, deep and short. Tall letters are the equivalent of ascenders in the Latin alphabet (e.g. b, d, f, h), deep letters are the equivalent of descenders (e.g. p, g, j, y), and short letters are all the same height, like the letters a, c, e and i. Consonant letters come in pairs, with the tall one representing an unvoiced consonant and the deep one representing a voiced consonant. There are no capital letters, although a ‘namer dot'’is used for proper names.

Teaching myself #quickscript. (Tutorial introduces some characters each chapter. By chapter 13 the entire thing will be in quickscript.)

quickscripts replied to your post “My mom is in her room watching Before We Go on Netflix because I...”

I forced my mom to watch The Avengers with me and she's called Hemsworth her man ever since... I hope you know what you're getting into. "My man is in the new Ghostbusters" "Your dad and I are watching this race car movie and I'm about to get up and do my eBay and then I see my man" "Why the hell are you making me watch Civil War when my man's not even in it?!?" It's a slippery slope.

@quickscripts Actually! My mom is a pretty diehard RDJ fan. Has been since she was younger than me and first saw him in Less Than Zero. She was heartbroken and stressed by Civil War. Plus, she’s in her 50s so she likes to keep her men in the same age range. She did finish the movie and yell to me “This is a cute movie, your little favorite is adorable.” So she at least gets my love, lol. 

I do kind of love your mom’s enthusiasm though!

Did I just  convince @lovelyliminalbeing to learn quickscript with me so we can write each other letters with it? Maybe.

Holy crap. I just found my angelfire website. . . Linked to from a website dedicated to Quickscript. Because I had a page about it. . . WOW. That is OLD stuff. Also, I have always been a little geeky.

[tokiro07]

Did a little research and found that not only is there already a term for a pangram that uses each grapheme only once (a "perfect pangram"), but even in orthodox English you can pretty much only get one by either using abbreviations (which I'm already doing) or loanwords, and even then you end up with something near unintelligible

So I decided to try relaxing my standards a bit and just going for a sentence that works and not sweat a couple of redundancies, though I still tried to keep them to a minimum

To that end, my pangram came out to be:

What j-oy she, the g-ay w-ih-ch, f-ow-n-d b-ai p-ue-t-ing uh-n-y-oo-zh-oo-uh-l h-eh-ks-z on eh-gz-ah-k-t-l-[ih] TH-r-ee s-m-ah-l v-oh-l-z in awe What joy she, the gay witch, found by putting unusual hexes on exactly three small voles in awe.

That gives me 53 characters total with 11 redundant graphemes

I imagine a more skilled linguist could have figured out a way to do it more succinctly, but I rather like what I came up with, and I feel pretty accomplished finally getting it done after several days of struggle

At some point I'll need to look into a font that lets me type in Senior Quikscript rather than Junior so that the letters will join and halve properly, but this is good enough for now

Unit 4 Post Mortem

One of my favorite things, writing and narrative work.

At first glance, I was really happy and excited to get started at the start of the unit, but the devil is always in the details. Always read the fine print.

I got to design a character, a backstory and environment, but at the time I didn’t consider the one point of contention for the unit. Making an actual small game.

I straight up can’t code. Anyone that knows me knows that.  I am illiterate in code. Though I can debug code really well if you give me an hour to read. But that’s all good, in the end I was able to work around that, using our teachers unity package called QuickScripts to basically make the entire play experience I had planned.

That being said, I also grossly underestimated the amount of time in my hacknplan and burn down charts that I actually had to work with, and as a consequence, I had to cut some of what I had planned.

In the end though, it got finished. It ain’t pretty, and it ain’t what I originally wanted, but it got finished

Wow this took a while. Well here is a two day late picture of the 30 day challenge’s second day. This time I had to base a character off of myself. So I dove into my love of fallout to bring you this. He is a villain character who can teleport. He make look human but he is not, he comes from a world that is in an apocalyptic fallout. I really like how this one came out so please tell me what you think!
