Mr. Belvedere's writing...


really bugs me! I know it is a small thing, but his writing is WAY too fast, and often is obviously nothing more than rapidly drawing lines.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that or was irked by it. His hand doesn't even make motions like he's writing letters, just swooshing it across the page.

Mr. Belvedere was a master of Burmese shorthand which is what he wrote his journals in to prevent Wesley from sneaking in and reading. This is why the hand motion doesn't match the narrated voice over.

And yes I just made that up but it sounds plausible. If I ever come across this show again I suspect I'll be annoyed by this now that it's been pointed out to me lol.
