do you have good penmanship?
It is extremely good, thank you . When I briefly taught school a couple of years ago I inadvertently caused a ruckus by writing ''in cursive'' on the blackboard. No one had told me that a series of laws against cursive writing had been passed and that children could no longer decipher it, even by eighth grade.

I''m sorry, MokeyPie. I was being facetious about the ''series of laws''. I meant that the children had so little ability to read script/cursive writing that the only logical explanation for such a lapse would be that legislation barring them from learning it must have been passed! It was a joke.
I assume that you now don''t want to know where I was living!!!

Granny, i knew you would have Ex penmanship,cuz every school report had to be written by hand back in the old days. nowadays, all the kids use the computer to type their school reports,so no wonder kids have ugly hand writing these days. my 22 yr old daughter''s hand writing looks like it was written by a 3rd grader.

If Granny Linda and I are the same age, then you''re old enough to be our father.Papa DF.
I don''t think my penmanship is ''proper,'' but it''s nice and neat. Print with a bit of cursive thrown in. I''ve had several teachers and coworkers comment on it.
My cursive is terrible. It looks like a 2nd grader wrote it. I only learned it in 2-3rd grade, and haven''t used it since. I really have to *think* to use it. I can''t even remember how to do all the letters all the time. Man that sounds bad, but no one has expected cursive of me since I was about 8.
My regular printing is nice when I put even a small amount of effort, but if I''m scrambling to write something down, it''s messy... legible, but messy.
