[lbo-talk] The death of cursive....

[michael perelman]

I always found handwriting very difficult. My cursive was difficult
for me to read unless I wrote at a painfully slow rate.  Perhaps it is
genetic.  My brother's handwriting is bad. Marx was also denied a job
because of his handwriting.  The typewriter was a godsend for me.
Computer keyboards and then voice recognition were wonderful
technologies for me.

I am always amazed at the flowery handwriting in old manuscripts.
