Funny ⸎
Edit: Is it just me, or do the examples of this symbol in writing look nothing like each other, nor like the Unicode symbol they adopted?

[–] JayDee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, beyond just being a marker denoting the end of a work, it seems like it was the scribe's own little flair - like a visual signature.

I guess it being generified in Unicode is the only real tradeoff you could make.

[–] JustAnotherKay 1 points 1 month ago

Looking at the examples, I think a signature or watermark is almost definitely the best way I would describe a coronis

[–] Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Based on the examples this looks acceptable: 🐦

Two dots is more alarming than 3..

So.. you're telling me that not everyone's like this?

People really ought to take into consideration the person they're talking to, rather than apply the cultural norms they hold for themselves onto something as minute as tone implied by punctuation.

[–] Adm_Drummer 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Explain this to a person with social anxiety.

[–] TrickDacy 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I totally don't have social anxiety /s

[–] Adm_Drummer 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So be more understanding? Idk

[–] TrickDacy 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So you're literally arguing against understanding other perspectives by wanting yours understood first?

[–] Adm_Drummer 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No lol

I'm saying people with anxiety think about what you said and then also think "Oh god. Why can't I just be normal? Just don't worry about it. Think about it another way. be normal. People know you aren't normal. You just need to reframe the situation. You can't reframe the situation. You're the problem."

So like I said, be more understanding?

[–] TrickDacy 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You say all this under the false assumption I don't have anxiety. I'm literally just saying anyone can try to be more understanding of other perspectives.

[–] Adm_Drummer 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yet you aren't being understanding that anxiety may affect others differently than it affects you.

[–] TrickDacy -2 points 1 month ago

Keep on trying to force others to conform. I'm sure it works well

How do I know they are being genuine with me? If they aren't genuine, do I need to mask or can I be my free self without them judging me? What would they think of me if I went full, raw self? I could never, they would see how much garbage can imitate a person. I need to be the person they want to talk to instead of me. How do I know they are being genuine with me?

I'm a pedant for spelling and punctuation and I genuinely don't get it.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The Exclamation makes the theoretical anxious person imagine the other person as excited, but ending with a period makes the anxious person imagine the other person hates them.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

Ok, thanks for helping me understand. I went back and re-read it and that makes sense. Cheers.

[–] TheOneAndOnly 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's why I just throw a 👍 at that. Thumbs up. Acknowledged. Same thing.

[–] KimjongTOOILL 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that a passive-aggressive thumbs up?

[–] Agent641 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If they were really happy, it would be a 🙌 or at least an 👌
