Mai Kairong Posted October 14, 2005 at 06:28 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted October 14, 2005 at 06:34 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted October 14, 2005 at 07:46 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wushijiao Posted October 14, 2005 at 10:10 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipponman Posted October 14, 2005 at 11:15 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted October 14, 2005 at 12:58 PM Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 at 12:58 PM I think 凹 and 凸 make perfect sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:15 PM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuchi Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:52 PM Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 at 03:52 PM I get 更 and 便 confused sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipponman Posted October 14, 2005 at 09:05 PM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted October 15, 2005 at 05:41 AM Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 at 05:41 AM Completely agree with Nipponman on 凸 and 凹 - and would like to add 丫. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
