@izaya @2ck I wasn't taught either so I just do it the way I'd do it if writing the program.
What do you think of a sentence like "Is the sky blue?"?

@wolf480pl @izaya @2ck I have to say, that structure is very unusual, but to me it still looks perfectly coherent.

@PunaisetPimpulat @izaya @2ck IMO that's the right way but I wouldn't be surprised if some humanists insisted it's wrong.

@wolf480pl @izaya @2ck Having studies a little bit of calligraphy and the history of writing, I’m pretty sure some of these odd conventions came from necessity. Nowadays, in the age of infinite screen space, there’s no need to combine separate letters into ligatures or collapse multiple closing symbols into one. In the age of expensive vellum things were very different. However, that still doesn’t explain silent letters though. That’s just wasted space IMO.
