    Yeah, and when they see it, they put it on a list for husbands to do.

    The ability to read cursive can be picked up in two minutes. It’s the ability to write in cursive that takes training.

    (Compare with Gothic script. Can you read it? Probably. Could you write it? Probably not.)

    I have to use uncial. With effective tremor, cursive is instantly unreadable. I can read my uncial up to thirty minutes after writing and can sometimes decipher it the next day. Cursive, foiled again!

    Night Gaunt: I have to. My handwriting (in either form) was legible until about five years ago, then deteriorated as the shakes got worse, but it was never aesthetic – forget calligraphy. The condition is inherited; my dad had to use a nylon-tip pen because his vertical shake would punch through paper using a ball-tip. Mine is rotational. Ironically, he started out apprenticed as a watchmaker/jeweler, and I have worked as a museum modeler. I can’t even do recreational modeling now.
