Well, I was taken for a minute... but I really don't understand the problem anyway. I seem to be unique among my friends in that I routinely change my handwriting for different tasks: I write my lower-case x differently in math equations than I do in words, and I last week changed the way I wrote my 1s, 2s and Is... does anyone else out there do this? I consider all of my habits (from the way I brush my teeth to the way I tie my shoes) mutable and change them frequently to try and improve on them.
One reason I have been working on my handwriting is for my comics - I don't want to have to use a lettering guide, so I just have been trying to write in straight lines in all cases...
Graffiti is wonderful, though I find myself using the keyboard for long stretches of text (like copying quotes into my outliner). I tried using the Fitaly keyboard for a while but found it too small... or something. I just didn't like it. That gestural keyboard recently/.'d was interesting though, the NYU demo...
The word I was trying to think of while writing that comment was ``anomoeomery''. For some reason it's no longer in my hard-copy OED, which is where I first FOUND it. Luckily my school's online OED had it. Hurrah for computers!
anomoe'omery rare. f. Gr. anomoiomerh-j of dissimilar parts; cf. omoiomereia homoeomery (f. omoioj like + meroj part). The theory that the ultimate atoms of matter are dissimilar.
My 3rd New International Unabridged Webster's says, though ``The belief that the ultimate atoms of the universe are dissimilar.'' [emphasis mine].
If it can take itself apart and put itself back together again, did it really take itself apart completely? I'm just thinking if it takes itself apart, the ``putting together part'' should be dissasembled to. Unless it's atomic...

I hate CSS! Come to my web site and find out why!

Rock on.

Something like that.
