in first grade i learned how to “correctly” spell the letter J. it was just like how ive always spelled it, yet with a flat horizontal line across the top of hte J. being only 6, i went along with this common notion but with a slight doubt and uneasy feeling– why was it necessary to add that extra little line? was it even that significant? i am totally wasting more lead/ink by inscripting this frivilous detail! oh the frustration i felt! (okay that wasn exaggeration. a really big exaggeration)
after the first grade, i switched back to the plain J with no hat because i no longer had my anal teacher hovering behind me to “correct” my mistake.
it’s my name that starts with a j, not your’s– if you want to have a line above your j, do it! but not to mine.
sadly, whenever i see someone write my name and makes the mistake of adding on that extra little something on top, i either:
-erase/scratch it out myself
-calmly raise my hand and ask the teacher to erase/scratch it out her/himself, or whoever is at the board writing my name
…
of course i know how atrocious this behavior is, but it is one of my top pet peeves and i cannot help but cringe everytime i see someone commit that horrendous act. if i ever marry someone who writes the letter j like “J“, then i am going to have to divorce him immediately and then get all the money and property that i can get from him. muahahahahhaaha
i kid, i kid.
sort of.
HAHAHAHA
YES! (yeah that is a venti. my first and last venti. i had to go to the bathroom 4more times than i usually would go, it was ridiculous, especially during meeting)
