Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 30, 2019

as much I too learned cursive penmanship, who thinks it’s becoming a dying art? (hey, even computers can come with cursive-looking fonts)

A teaching moment for sure :-)

Cursive is coming back in some schools. How else can children read grandmother’s sweet notes.

I can write cursive with my bear hands.

Only if you use a fountain pen that fills from a bottle. None of those newfangled cartridge thingies.

Points to the junior plugger for recognizing what Grammy is doing-most only know how to communicate by texting.

Our daughter is teaching her soon to be seven year old cursive.

What makes me “hurt”, is not as much the “hand-print”-text, as it is the fact that most—though, not all—of today’s graduates, of whatever-learning institutes? They still can’t grasp the need of a real, legal-eagle, SIGNATURE of their-names! Why, that’s one of the true-signs of a person’s-individuality, that’s disappearing more each-day!

Anyone can PRINT-your name—but, only YOU-can literally-sign it, correctly, “in-code” of cursive.

Yeah, mine looks like a birds-nest, too: But, by-golly, it’s MY-nest, an’ ain’t no-body can “build” another one like it…!

Perhaps she is a follower of Da Vinci and mirror writes.

I learned to write cursive and could do it fluently but illegibly. I needed to turn to semi-printing to get readable handwriting.
