I severely dislike those kanji

I had to rename the “jet” radical to “not yet” with a synonym - I just couldn’t handle that being different

Also, thank you @Kumirei

i did the same, though more for convenience. with “not yet” (short stroke, younger sister) and “end” (long stroke), i find the differences very easy to remember.

just remember the top line in “not yet” is NOT YET longer than the middle line.
Also, the husband doesn’t have the jet stream stroke at the bottom. make of that what you will.

He loses the line when he gets married?

Yeah. Maybe he loses his youthful recklessness for speed (jet stream). Or maybe he burns less calories and gets more fat. I have my own mnemonic for it ^^
Oh, you meant losing the line as in gaining weight? That sounds good too.

by the way, it’s a similar difference with 矢 arrow and 失 fault. If there was something extra on the arrow sticking out of it vertically, it would be a faulty arrow.

There’s a typo in the reading hint:
Don’t you know sitting it the “new smoking”!?
