Again .. you give me a headache. This just says Chris .. I don't even know what an ambigram is.. But ! .. ambi has to do with two and gram with signature (or weight .. but thats another language) A doublesignature .. Now I have learned that ... But it still just says Chris and the 'tine' in it can't be seen anywhere

: IDGI - I Dont Get It.
: Again .. you give me a headache.
: This just says Chris .. I don't even know what an ambigram is..
: But ! .. ambi has to do with two and gram with signature (or weight .. but thats another

Yes, people just call her 'Chris'. There is no 'tine' to be found. An
ambigram (such as my sig) is such that it can be read in more than one way.
In both my sig and the above ambigram, you read it the other way by looking
at it upside down.

Thanks :)
: Doesn't "Chris" confuse some people ?

Yes it is a gender neutral name. Doesn't seem to cause much trouble.

So people are still using the mirror writing after 2 years. I remember when you were refining this sig Henry. Didn't it used to be in capitals?

Well I am anyway :)

Doubt it. Theres no nice way to get a 'y' out from a capital 'H'.
Incidentally, I just altered it about a week ago, and made this 4 line
version, just incase I ever end up somewhere that doesn't let me do the
7 line version:
