Some say your handwriting style reflects your personality. Honestly I don't know how true that is, but if it's really true, then it means I've had multiple personalities since I first learned how to write. It keeps changing!...

Why Can't We Write?

patgalca @patgalca (18481) • Orangeville, Ontario 19 Feb 16

I wish cursive was a requirement when I was in School.

Michelle @infatuatedbby (94909) • United States 30 Jan 16

Now that we are in the digital ages, it seems like cursive is obsolete. During my childhood years, I learned the basic cursive (how to write a-z in both lowercase/uppercase) but we never had to write essays in cursive and teachers...

Do you think cursive handwriting is a lost art? They still teach cursive handwriting as a required course in elementary school but it seems like as the world advances people use it less and less. Do you think cursive will go the...

How's your penmanship?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 25 Jul 08

Is it readable? Do you write better with manuscript or a cursive style? Can you write calligraphy? I know you can type but can you write? If you still sign your name with an X just move on by. Attach proof positive if you want.
