postscript transcription

Well this monster is finally transcribed - the postscript! It is an abbreviated version of the TTP post back in Nov 08 entitled transcription - the method to my madness . Let it be known that I do sense the great irony of the explanatory text being transcribed - after all if you can't read tengwar than you won't be able to read the explanatory text. However, I figure that if you can't read tengwar to start with, than the postscript really won't matter much in the end anyways as the majority of it explains conflicts i ran into and how I solved the problem. Before you scroll further down and look at the pictures, let me point out that I'm well aware of transcription errors in this text from the get-go. For about a page in a half, my mind transcribed "w+o" as if it was "o+w" and completely forgot that there is a special symbol for the word "of." I'm sure there are a couple others, for instance I think that a couple of my "g"s look like "j"s or possibly "b"s (The "b" is a "g" just flip flopped over a y-axis), but all of this will be corrected once I go back and proofread. In the meantime enjoy the scribblings below!
