Then I went into a software career and the rest is history.<BR/><BR/>But your point about handwriting being a lost art is well-taken. I think there is even more of a danger for complex scripts like Chinese, where learning to recognize the characters is one thing, but learning to write is another; and the way to input the characters into the computer is totally foreign (most people use an input method based on the pronunciation of the words).Mr. Shiny and Newhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101544839246534676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22090588.post-15037508506841298582008-11-20T16:28:00.000-05:002008-11-20T16:28:00.000-05:00I was never going to have good handwriting, as I w...I was never going to have good handwriting, as I was terrible at it in school. My script has definitely degraded since then, though I use a pen and paper a little bit more often than most.<BR/><BR/>What is noticeable is that I have no consistency. All the lessons from different teachers and my parents got muddled up and I have a curly-tailed g here, a straight-tailed g there, dotted i:s up there and undotted i:s over there.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame. My mother has beautiful handwriting. I wish I did; I'd write in hand all the time.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761246141123471061noreply@blogger.com
