It's not a reward check, but Knuth read one of my articles and emailed me about it [0], which I found pretty cool.

When I was making my presentation at TUG 2019 he suggested _dart_ as a term for a shape of "two straight edges, one concave arc" which then freed up _arrowhead_ for "two convex, one concave arc".

You missed out on a great time at TUG26 [0], but hopefully I'll see you at TUG27 [1] in Paris :).

I'm still a bit miffed that TUG2020 was cancelled, and am still waiting for it to come back to the East Coast of the U.S.
