How to Tally (Patreon)

Does everyone know this already? I remember when I first learned it back when I was studying Chinese in the States it blew my little mind. 

That is when tallying or counting anything instead of hashmarks (four down, one across), Japan, China, and Taiwan use the sei no ji or  正の字. They just write out the character for tadashii or correct. 

I'm not sure what I so like about it, just that it's fun. Plus you'll never forget that stroke order (kakijun/書き順). Just this for now. We haven't been out of the house since January 3rd (except walks to the grocery store), so I'm planning a bit of a day trip tomorrow. Surely something interesting will pop up and make for a better post. If nothing else, more ocean waves (on sand, not rocks this time) will be gotten. 

XO,
