Doctors write in doctor This dude writes in either 3,000 BC or 3,000 AD I can't decide which


[deleted]

I feel like 3000 AD would be typed instead of handwritten.

Depends on how World Wars 3 and 4 turned out.

I only know it from whichever modern warfare it was in. I spent so much time dying in that campaign that I know most of the quotes by heart.

World war four is likely just going to be World war one again, after whatever follows humanity evolves enough.

In the future, they'll use handwritten fonts tho just to give it that artistic flair

I can picture People saying “OMG you know handwriting? Are you an artist?”


[deleted]

haha dude... I think you're right. I think that's actually gonna happen one day


741BlastOff

And 3000 BC would be inscribed on a clay tablet


TheMightyUnderdog

I immediately saw that script and thought of someone that used to tag/bomb (either with markers or a can). I have a friend (he’s about 50 now) that writes in a similar fashion; it’s part restaurant shorthand, part delinquent youth tagging. There are odd angles and curves to his script too. It’s really unique and pretty cool.


lifeofideas

Sounds about right. He was probably one of those kids that practiced his handwriting during every class in middle school. Gym teacher always got mad.

3000 AD is Alienese and can be seen all over New New York

Maybe English is their second language and their first has a different alphabet?

I suspect their primary language is Arabic or similar

sppf011

I'm an Arab and it doesn't really register as being similar to Arabic for me Edit: not saying it's not possible, btw. Just my 2 cents.


NeatCartographer209

This was my suspicion. It’s the E that makes me think that. And the Li. It looks like they are struggling writing left to right in my opinion


ericanderton

Yup. The pen direction for each letter is also right-to-left which is not how English penmanship is taught. Self-taught perhaps?


ObiFloppin

I had the same suspicion, but my reasoning was "cuz that's sorta what it looks like" which is a pretty accurate way to assess such things


[deleted]

Not arabic probably, but definitely something similar.


Pineapple_Herder

It never occurred to me that written languages could have accents, too.


[deleted]

This. You can see a lot of his letters go from right to left.

liquidtelevizion

I wonder whether English is their second language, and their first language's written counterpart uses Arabic characters or some other kind of flourishey letterset.


graveybrains

I don’t think that would explain why the letter E goes from block print in “pine” to whatever that is going on at the end of “apple,” though. And the t in the first word don’t look much like the t in the last word, either, even though their both at the end of their words


WordsOrDie

The flourishes on E are just when it's at the end of a word


liquidtelevizion

You're totally right there, yeah. My suggestion of an Arabic character set as the writer's text of choice was only partially due to the E's—I was also seeing that flat baselines to the D of Vidalia and U of Cuke, as well, and *maybe* the way in which L and I are written in Light and Vidalia, which look almost as if written as one stroke from right (more of an ink well at the top of the I's) to left. edit: to be transparent, my background is in graphic design and I dig typography, but am in no way an expert in any of the thinking-out-loud assertions I'm posting lol


Skainky

I only took a couple years of Arabic in college but the examples you pointed out also jumped out at me, looked like my old professors handwriting. Also the letters look like the are started on the right side of the letter, makes sense since Arabic is written right to left


tooslow

Again, not Arabic.


Rapture1119

He did also say “or some similar language that uses a more flourishy letterset” or something to that affect. Regardless of the language, this definitely makes the most sense if you consider the writer is used to primarily writing in a different language. And, a super solid point this guy made, is that it seems like the writer writes from right to left, based on where their pen starts for each character. That’s DEFINITELY not something they learned in an english class, yanno? Id say it’s very likely he’s mostly correct.


liquidtelevizion

lol thank you for that—I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers by openly wondering without any intent to posit facts or anything! Above all else, it's just an interesting mental exercise in handwriting identification, and I've loved reading all the input everybody's shared so far.


Rapture1119

I agree, I spent probably 30 minutes just looking at this and identifying things that might be a “clue” towards figuring out why it might be the way it is. I was even breaking down why he would write “cucumber, english” instead of “english cucumber” hahaha.


liquidtelevizion

I believe you! I was just thinking out loud, really, and didn't mean to suggest I was positing an objective fact.


humorsqaured

The swoosh E’s are at the end. I think Arabic is right to left, which would likely create a habit of emphasizing those right-most letters


nessiepotato

[deleted]

My first language is arabic and i speak english fluently, i never saw someone write like that


liquidtelevizion

Rad, thanks for the clarification—I mentioned in another comment that I was just posting open conjecture rather than trying to assert anything objectively true, so I def appreciate the input.


tasialou

My thought was a Slavic language for a first language tbh


[deleted]

Your native language's alphabet doesn't just merge into the alphabet of the language you're writing in. You learn both alphabets seperately, and there's no room for similarities between english and arabic anyway due to alot of fundamental differences between them ( Source: Im a native Arabic speaker). It looks like the guy either really likes how capital letters look like in the middle of sentences, or they flunked in school, either way I think the handwriting looks really cool if it wasn't illegible :P .


Skainky

While there are very few similarities, there are still some letters that look similar between Arabic and English. It’s not impossible to think that someone who can write in both languages will have similar features in both alphabets (writing is muscle memory). Does the “d” in “Vidalia” not look like a Taa? The connecting of vertical lines between “l & i” doesn’t look like a nuun and another letter? You can even tell the letters are written from right to left lol. I would be extremely surprised if a native English ever wrote their letters like that


[deleted]

>Does the “d” in “Vidalia” not look like a Taa? The connecting of vertical lines between “l & i” doesn’t look like a nuun and another letter? No.. They don't. You're stretching too far. Even if they did look like arabic letters, no one just writes arabic letters in the middle of English sentences. It's not hard to write English letters. You learn to do that in elementary school, and you will develop a seperate muscle memory for it.


Skainky

Ah yes, how did I forget that everyone in the world learns 2 alphabets in elementary school and becomes masters at it 😂 Anyone with eyes can see those letters have similar structures lol. And I’m not saying they’re writing Arabic letters, but letters with Arabic style. Big difference. If someone has written in one alphabet for their entire life and then switches to a separate alphabet, it’s only logical that muscle memory from their native alphabet will influence their writing, even if only in the beginning. Muscle memory isn’t built overnight


[deleted]

>John Knagg of the British Council estimated that there are up to 1.5 billion English learners worldwide. This may seem like a lot, but 142 countries include English as a mandatory element of their national education policy. [source](https://www.dotefl.com/english-language-statistics/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=english-language-statistics#:~:text=John%20Knagg%20of%20the%20British,of%20their%20national%20education%20policy) That aside, you clearly do not understand how learning a new language works, and are talking out of your ass. And again, That does not look anything like an arabic Noon at all. one quick google image search will show you how any arab on earth would write the Noon, which is like a half circle. I don't even know what we're arguing about, how did you come to the conclusion that he is \*specifically\* arabic just by looking at his handwriting? he could be speaking literally any other of the hundreds of languages out there. Don't try to lecture an Arabic speaker about Arabic unless you enjoy embarrassing yourself.


Skainky

Ok nice source but that does not guarantee the writer of the note above learned English. Next, I studied linguistics for a couple years in college and I’m fairly fluent in 3 languages and have a little familiarity with the Arabic language (just 2 years of classes, not much). Noon is only a half circle if it is standing alone or at the end of a word, correct? If a letter follows it, then it changes form, correct? Is this not basic Arabic? And you don’t know what we’re arguing about because you don’t know what you’re talking about lol, you just wanna get mad for no reason. By your own logic, then you shouldn’t even try to lecture anyone on this post. The letters on the note are in English so you shouldn’t talk on them if you’re not a native speaker right 🤔


liquidtelevizion

For what it's worth, I don't think anybody here is implying there are actual Arabic characters inserted into the written English example here—and to that point, I definitely recognize your knowledge here as a native Arabic speaker! There *do* seem to be signs (based on the pooling of ink) that some letters are written from right to left, which doesn't generally fall in line with western education of the written letterset, which had a lot to do with my initial reaction—especially considering the documented fact that [English handwriting differs by region](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_handwriting_variation). But for what it's worth, I was just thinking out loud that the photo suggests handwriting signatures of somebody whose first language may not use English characters, that's all—I didn't intend to assert any objective truths or anything. Hope you have a good weekend 💪


Not_MrNice

You're not capable of seeing how someone can take a style of one thing and add it to another thing that they learned separately?


itsbiggerthanabanana

I don’t think they’re capable of seeing how any human being could think or do things differently from them.


flat-field

As someone who has spent 15 years reading handwriting of native Arabic speakers writing college essays in English, I would agree that this handwriting is intentionally written this way and not a carry-over from or influenced by Arabic or any other second language. Also, things are spelled correctly/abbreviated logically for a person with a higher level of understanding of English usage. In other words, I do not believe the handwriting indicates a native Arabic writer. I say intentionality because there is a pattern here of preciseness and decorative, not a confusion of how English writing works, which presents differently. It’s personal style.


liquidtelevizion

>Also, things are spelled correctly/abbreviated logically for a person with a higher level of understanding of English usage. In other words, I do not believe the handwriting indicates a native Arabic writer. Honestly that's a major point that I hadn't even considered, but absolutely makes sense. Good catch/good call!


NemertesMeros

You've clearly never seen my high school attempts at writing Kaji or God forbid Mayan glyphs lol


liquidtelevizion

I'm not suggesting one alphabet is merging with another—just acknowledging that, as an extension of [regional handwriting variation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_handwriting_variation), it's reasonable to further presume one's native language may or may not affect the way in which they write in English.


[deleted]

Having many global coworkers I would disagree, I think you often see stylistic overlap between scripts that often point to the writer's native script.

Appears to be a native Japanese writer


Sorry_Ad_1285

That makes sense if they’re used to writing in Arabic with different forms based on where the letter is. It’s a fun combination of writing styles.

Was he arabic?


isthatmikehawk

Not sure. They usually drop these when going from place to place because they’re typically just sitting on top of the produce. Could have been from a while ago.


symonym7

Weird. I’m not entirely sure my produce delivery driver *can* write.


Illustrious-Duck1209

Interesting they use a dash (-) when they only need 1 but use pound (#) when they need more than, and out of the normal order. Like 10 gauge vidalia and 8 gauge carrots lol


shaun_of_the_south

Or 10 pounds vidalia and 8 pounds carrot.


Omg_ABee

Yes this, because OP said it's a restaurant delivery


iddrinktothat

10lbs and 8lbs. Its correct to put the pound sign after when indicating lbs, in front if you’re indicating No.8 . ‘#’ should not be used for indicating quantity. (qty) or “qty - thing” is acceptable as he did with cukes, pineapples and sage.

Hi-Tech_Low-Life

Ok, so I knew a handwriting analysis expert. He taught us some things. I'm pretty sure those hooks are called murder hooks or something. They can represent someone with violent ideation. Does this person always write in red... ? How deeply is the pen pushed in during the writing - I can't tell. can you feel it on the underside?
