We talked about it in another thread starting with this image:

Can verbs be removed?

If still confused: I’ve tried to explain it in this topic: When talking about animations and characters: Yes.

E.g. those hinges on the washing machine and around the coin slot always looked like quadrangles to me, and not malformed things I see here: [image] [image]
