I'm posting this because everyone seems confused as to how I saw the kanji "koi" in the image. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just showing my viewpoint. I also considered that the green line would had to have been extended in order to hold the main part of "kokoro".
My feelings were a little hurt when I read "it doesn't at all" and "not in a 100 years"...please be considerate of the efforts of others. I may not be right, but I did try.  |
First, I see your comparison and still don't agree. As MMM said, not in 100 years would I think "koi." Anyone who told me otherwise would get laughed at or just some noncommittal "sure, whatever you say."
Second, telling someone their attempt is wrong when it is pretty objectively wrong is not being inconsiderate. Telling someone who is wrong that they are right is what is inconsiderate, as it robs them of a teaching moment and lures them into a false sense of security about their grasp of the language.
I'm glad there are people here (esp. MMM, Nagoyankee, Yuri, and Nyororin) who will call out my stupid suggestions. Without them, I'd be here talking hella awesome about my abilities when they are, admittedly, advanced, but no way they are close to perfect.
