    I'm surprised anyone under the age of thirty can even write in cursive beyond their own name. :unsure:

    You are wrong. For this very reason, I don't write.

    I have used the same typewriter for my manifestos since 1980.

    Jenee agrees: Your handwriting is nearly as bad as my son's.


    :weep: In my defense, I wrote on white, unlined paper. Hmm, calligraphy wouldn't be bad to look into.

    Fixed that for you. I suspect the Europeans still get it drilled into them -- my girlfriend would say my handwriting's bad, and she's five years younger than I am.

    FWIW, I hated having to learn cursive back in 3rd-4th grade, but writing letters to her's shown me a how useful a skill it is.

    Batboy is unsurprised. Batboy heard Garamet can also read Pictish, what with being a native speaker and all. :bee:

    Apt.

    The Second Coming

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

    The darkness drops again but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    I just thought of a fallacy... if my penmanship's better than yours because I'm not in the medical field... but if my girlfriend's is better than mine and she's a nurse... oh shiiiiiiiiiiii--
