And these days schools hardly care about penmenship :D!
Actually, I'm constantly amazed at how teachers can read my handwriting when I can't.

Hmm... come to think of it, my school wasn't to concerned over penmanship either.

my teachers always took issue with my penmanship, and we never had to write cursive for our work outside of when we initially learned it.

i don't have any particular issues reading cursive, other than capital letters trip me up sometimes. no idea why, but they never clicked with me very well. i use print capitals and cursive everything else sometimes, like with signing my name.

I get that sort of half-print, half-cursive thing going if I'm writing in a hurry.

I see. Well, hey, I didn't need to write cursive either, so I went to printing; however, one of my teachers in high school said that when she went to school, they actually measured the letters' slants. I can't remember if the students were punished for nt slanting their cursive letters enough or not, but yeah... sounds like my kind of teacher to teach cursive.

As for the capital letters, the Q looks like a 2, the G looks like an M, the E is a backwards 3, the T looks like an F without a line and vice versa with a line, so those ones I can understand.

Hmm, I see. Yes, I see. Is it legible?

We didn't get judged THAT harshly on the slant, but we did have to slant -- and we had to slant our print too before that, in preparation for learning cursive. My cursive is hard enough to read when it's upright. Having to slant it makes it worse. Thankfully, after 3rd grade, my papers just had to be written in cursive, they didn't have to be written in that specific TYPE of cursive, so it was all upright from there on.

Coda... I wanna see your cursive writing.

I... can probably accommodate that request later.

Alright.

Legible enough for me.


I used to get chewed out for having my letters too close together, and for looping my tall letters that weren't supposed to be looped, like lower case h.

Interting... we should all be penpals.
