What you said about languages makes sense. The structure of an arabic sentence begins with the verb, emphasising action. People who speak Arabic but who were raised in English speaking countries change this structure to noun first becasue they were influenced by English. This emphasises the person doing the action rather than the action itself.
I resonate a lot with this idea of the form itself carrying content, like the sound of a word being part of its meaning. To me this is how music works, it has no translatable content, it's all just form to experience. I also had to think of Marshall McLuhan's "the medium is the message" here.
My handwriting varies greatly on my mood. On a calm day my writing is clear and legible and a total scrawl on a bad day.

I adore McLuhan. I was talking about him like twenty minutes ago with a friend.
@@Xianomega you should make a video about his work.
Hope all is well! Miss the videos.
I actually got marked down on my annual job performance review, for poor penmanship. :/
Where are you Christian?
