I've spent a long, long time wondering how do you say escalímetro in English. Today I found out that it's called Architect's scale or Engineer's scale, and DUDE, I RESENT IT. I USE THE HELL OUT OF THAT ESCALÍMETRO. *growl*

Pointless post is pointless, but I'd seriously been wondering for ages. WHAT A LEFT DOWN. DOWN WITH ARCHITECTURAL BIGOTRY. (if it wasn't for the poor gals - and I'm serious there, there must be two guys in the entire career - of Interior Design, we Graphic Designers would be at the bottom of the precise arts college food chain. No, wait. That would be the invisible dudes over at Urbanística. I have never, ever, even HEARD of someone studying Urbanística. They're the school's myths - they're there, but no ones's ever actually met one of them. UUUUUUH.)

Ugh, engineer's scale... Yeah, I used the hell out of that thing during field camp. :-P We had to carry one in the field with us in case we did any pace and compass mapping, because you can estimate meters with paces and then accurately draw that number of meters on the map using the scale... HORRIBLE.

You know what drawing tool I really love, though? Triangles. They're AMAZING.

Dude, no, that's sort of awesome! Weirdly enough, I hardly ever use it to actually scale stuff, but every single designer worth his stuff will use one instead of a regular ruler, haha, we're trained young XD

Oh man, they're called triangles? AWESOME. We call them escuadras, and I would be just completely lost without them XD

(Okay, since apparently this is 'learn how are your drawing tools are called in English day: What's the name of the ruler that's shaped like a t? We just call it regla T, but I very much doubt that's it's name in English, lol.)

Hmm.... I honestly think that's just called a T-square, lol. Really! I have one of those two, but I almost never use it... I just use a 90-degree triangle with a ruler and get the same effect.

Also: do you use Micron pens? I'd never used them before Structure class but now I LOVE THEM.
