Hmmm I don't really know the difference in the Japanese and Chinese symbols. How do you know what to look for?

Hi sewmon - how you doin'. Believe me there is a difference - can't really explain it but when you know you'll know!
Easiest for me is to say Japanese looks like shrthand as opposed to Chinese which has more strokes to each symbol. There is also a mothod in doing the stroke whether they start at top with a sweep down or visa versa. Am I just rambling or do I make sense.

Whoops you got cut off. I would love to hear the rest.

method in the brush stroke, the wides part of the stroke is the start. Sometimes they start at the top and sometimes at the bottom. I have downloaded some and found from the same source two different methods of wrting. So to be uniform you need to get someone to look at the words to see if they right. Being Chinese and seeing the words (ashamed to say can't read write or speak)I can recognised the difference as my mom has lots of books. As I was saying, how you doing sewmom? My grandD is growing laughing and giggling on video. We hope to visit in another year or so. So is due to become UScitizen. Love to your fam
