If I was going to learn any type of speed writing (which is what cursive is supposed to be), I should have learned shorthand.
Knight did a post on analysing handwriting. Then she submitted a sample for all of us to review. Except it wasn't written, it was printed. Well all except her signature which was a mix of printing and writing.
A sample from me would be printed also. So I find it easier to type it and print it out. Another bonus of typing is spell check and even grammar check. But last time I checked, grammar was still in her grave.
What got me going on this? THIS ARTICLE. But this articles big problem with the cursiveless is, OMG, forgery. But when was the last time anyone verified your signature? Especially on a grocery store electronic signing pad. Scribble scribble scribble. Looks good to ME!
All this reminds me, someone wrote me a letter and I need to write them back. Whoooo was that.......

Well I thought I'd set the time correctly to post this at midnight. I don't trust anything blogger does anymore.
my signature looks different all the time depending on how fast I sign and how annoyed I am
thanks for the vote for the joke link
FYI - Washington Post invited Trump, guess they need the publicity too :)
D - My signature on those electronic pads doesn't look much different than the picture of the yellow sticky note.
Yeah, right, blame the lack of return letters on your illegible cursive. Now that we've got that out of the way, it was a great article, and has been added to my collection.
vw: predrier - washer.
Were you writing "move"? My boss writes ever so slightly in cursive but mostly print and it takes me a ridiculously long time to decipher his notes. I think writing in cursive takes me longer and I don't like the result of it as much. If I could type everything all the time I would.
B - Actually I can make them legible if I write slow enough.
K - It does look like 'move' doesn't it? Actually it's just a scribble.
