Suffix, Duplifix, Transfix, Simulfix, Suprafix and Disfixes are cool.

Arabic and Chinese/Japanese calligraphy is simply amazing in beauty. For Arabic it simply looks very elegant in the way you string the graphemes together. As for Chinese the calligraphy is considered a form of art in China and Japan, Is art usually not supposed to be pleasing to a person? I've never...
