Published on 11/19/2021
I was recently surprised to realize that my signature has not changed for decades. That got me thinking about printing and writing in general.

Has your signature remained rather unchanged over the years? (I am referring to your penmanship, discounting possible name changes.) Yes. Almost identical

All of my handwriting (not printing) is much like it was in my late teens. How about yours? My handwriting is much like it was in my late teens.

My printing is totally different. We learned to print using Block Letters. My son was taught cursive by using the D'Nealian Alphabet. I had to master it, so I could tutor him! I think it's very pretty and use it to this day. Does your printing look the same as it did in your late teens? Yes, almost the same

My mother was brilliant at everything she tried - cooking, singing, dancing, flower-arranging, sports, sewing, etc. But she needed her good sense of humor to deal with her horrific "chicken scratch". How do you feel about your current penmanship? I'm delighted with my writing and my printing.

Appreciation of penmanship is subjective. Who knows how to feel about it?
