These pre-school attempts at spelling the names of shapes are hilarious and weirdly impressive

What on earth is a 'sdr'?

To be fair, shapes are hard enough to draw without having to spell their names as well.

20-year-old Twitter user Sal Perez tweeted a picture of some spelling he did as a pre-schooler, and it's gone viral, with over 80,000 retweets at time of writing.

Young Perez was trying to spell the names of the shapes he was drawing; chriego is a triangle, sgr is a square and so on.

At first, people are infinitely amused for the new names for shapes his young mind had concocted.

But some people were actually quite impressed with the work, saying it was actually quite advanced for a pre-schooler.

Of course Twitter being Twitter there's always the chance this photo isn't everything Perez claims it to be. But regardless, gold sdr for effort.
