Rant 

@zpartacoos

My handwiting for most of my life up until a few years ago was probably worse than yours. Took me a **lot** of practice to get this far and I'm still nowhere near where the pros are.

@fikran
Here is an example (not by me) showing the letter h in 3 different ratios for comparison. Since h doesnt have a descending portion its 2 part ratio instead of the usual 3 part ratio

@fikran
The specific ratio i picked is arbitrary. But the idea that you can vary the look of a script by changing the ratio is common yes.

The style here is Copperplate, specifically the Italian Hand variant. You can pick whatever ratio you'd like to write it in but some look better than others of course.

@fikran
The ratio of the different parts of the letter. I wrote thr scale on the right hand side illustrated it. The top part is 5 units of length, middle 3, bottom 6. It defines the proportions of the script.

Enjoy. Keep in mind im no pro, so use with caution

@calligraphy

I have switched the style on my lowercase k and with that suddenly my (Italian Hand variant) finally looks nice. No matter what i did i never could get the style of the k to look right using its normal form.

@spazzpp2 you are missing the point. If people in a study are wearing a mask because the choose to do so then you cant be sure if the mask is the thing effecting the transmission of the disease or if it is something else that mask wearers are likely to do non-mask wearers dont.

For example say people who take the virus seriously are the people who wear masks, they are also the people who wash their hands frequently. That means people who wear masks are likely to be the people washing their hands. So even if masks have no effect but hand washing does then you would observe people who wear masks get sick less even though the masks arent the reason.

@spazzpp2 In what way is it not observational? The problem here is your drawing inference from things happening in the wild where wearing a mask is a choice

In almost every state you have to go school longer to get a hair dressing license than you do to be qualified to ve a cop.... Let that sink in.

Correction. the image posted here is **not** of my ancestor afterall. The rest of the information is in question except for the family tree itself.

@Co its a bit more than that since blue and yellow are different colors and dnt just differ in brightness. But the effect is very analogous.
