I just don't feel comfortable tapping my pen on the paper and call it a dot, because that can happen by accident or I could fuck up and make an unintentional comma instead. When I make these small circles, I know they're intentional and clear.
whoa whoa whoa dude i didn't mean to offend you there
i actually LOVE your handwriting, but like it was kind of more me openly venting how a lot of european friends i have DO write like that, and i'm sort of envious because here in america like - your teacher would love it, but your peers would criticize it because you don't write chicken scratch "like all boys do"
i mean you see my handwriting - it's not as uh, disciplined as yours and i still got tons of shit for writing like a girl (had my father taught me I'd write in allcaps but with jaw-dropping cursive)
(your answer actually makes me want to make circle punctuation too)
