Does anyone know of a language anywhere in the world that has two different words for writing done by hand and writing that is printed or created by mechanical/artificial means?

My paper with Eunjong Kong on Korean "short tongue" pronunciation is finally out 🎉 Recently there has been more discussion of "short tongue" in the context of aegyo, a Korean cute speech register, and "short tongue" is one of its linguistic hallmarks. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Small update: I surveyed my class of 24 students, mostly from KS/MO and a few from NE, MN, and SD, and no one had heard of "whip a shitty", but 100% of them called a u-turn a "yoo-ey". But instead of "whip a yoo-ey" they said "pull a yoo-ey".
'Whip a you-ey' is what I'm familiar with up in the Prairies

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Anyone familiar with Tagalog who can answer:
Makita normally marks the seer with the "ng" case: Nakita *ko* siya.
But in this existential sentence, why is the seer in the "ang" case? May nakikita *akong* katiwalian sa transaksiyon.
