    He ate the radical "木" in "相". He wrote "相" incorrectly.

      Lots of Chinese people are terrible with Chinese. It's one of their little dirty secrets that they won't tell anybody, but that is 100% the case. It was a landmark day the first time I saw two Chinese people get into an argument about how a character should be written. It was such a cathartic moment, a relief that it wasn't just me.

      That said, this looks like either a 8-year-old's or an adult foreign learner's handwriting. It's shaky and uncomfortably legible.

        definitely adult learner, I don't know Chinese but the lines themselves are thin and fairly controlled even if the characters are sloppy.

            I guess you have never gone through the Chinese education system, my teacher would throw me a shoe if I wrote 相 wrong. And no, write characters properly is important, 目信 (what he wrote) means nothing. You shouldn't be making so brave statement such as "writing characters properly is nerd shit" when you probably barely know any Chinese.
