Pretty obvious the ink just blurred the r and I in glorious

Your "funny" is on par with idiots reading my name as Ken instead of Keri

I went to elementary school with a kid named Curt. He was a good artist even as a little kid. One day in 1st grade I asked if I could have one of his paintings because I really liked it. He gave it to me and I brought it home.

Years later I learned from my parents that they were a bit shocked when I brought it home. They asked me about the painting and I said "Curt gave it to me!". It turns out that Curt had overextended the "r" in his name so that it looked like an "n". And there it was, in giant capital letters in the top corner of the painting.

I dunno, the other "i"s have pretty pronounced dots, and the other "n"s look identical.

I live in Taiwan and can confirm this kind of spelling mistake is super common. But you're right, it's not that funny...

There are a lot of examples in China where it looks like kerning but it’s not (as in keming). I think this is because someone typed something they were copying. If they don’t know the word, it’s just letters.
