This has been bothering me.

[Anonymous No.]

Maybe because the katakana "ka" is borrowed from the kanji.

[五角场 之 无名氏 No.]

加 ka

[Anonymous No.]

Think of it like this the カ sounds like the co in cock, however the カ is small. You want your カ to be big and powerful. Therefore it is 力. That's the most logical reason I could think of.

[Anonymous No.]

It's obviously a palette swapped enemy.
To /lang/ with you.

Why is Q just an O with a line through it?

[Anonymous No.]

most katakana come from kanji. like オ　and 才.

>why does upper case I, look like lower case l (L)

That what you were looking for?

[Anonymous No.]

Damn guys, why do the capital "oh" and the number "zero" have to look so similar? I can't tell them apart.

It doesn't. The three characters look slightly different in their curvature and the distance of the second stroke from the hooked part of the first.

Yeah it's easy to differentiate the details once you know the proper way to write them. "So" looks more like a "v" and "tsu" is like a happy smile while "shi" looks more like an unsatisfied smile, or I just have autism.

For me, shi is more "quiet" and so isn't as "steep" sounding as tsu.

As for n and so, same for them. n is "quieter" than so, which sounds more "steep".

derp

[Anonymous No.]

I can differentiate between them easily. I can just tell.
