There's a lot to know about how you draw your letters. Your penmanship says a lot about you. Through the study of it, you can learn a lot about yourself.

When neat, it's a woman's handwriting (mostly) "In her book “Handwriting in America: A Cultural History,” Tamara P. Thornton noted a 1910 handwriting expert’s study on identifying sex differences in penmanship, which concluded that confident, original script is interpreted as masculine, whereas neat, conventional and circular are considered feminine" |

Learning to write by hand has learning benefits that could be neglected if too much focus is put on keyboarding.

No és una crítica a les noves tecnologies, però hi ha coses que potser s'haurien de continuar aprenent com abans: "Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they also remain better able to generate ideas and retain information."

This is an ongoing discussion between my English Teacher friend and I. I think the real question is why are we still teaching keyboarding?? |
Handwriting is not a dying art.
