Handwriting Questions

Do you prefer writing on paper or a keyboard? Why? Care to hand write a short letter to us, scan it, and then post it to your blog?

I think I like keyboard now. Not long ago I would have said handwriting, on paper. But now I can type about as fast as I'm thinking and on the keyboard my penmanship is always good.

Is cursive writing a lost art? Should good penmanship be taught? Tell us about your handwriting – good / bad?

I hope cursive doesn't disappear. Funny to think of it as art now. It was just part of the regular English/ language arts we learned in school. Now, a lot of young people can't write it, or read it. It is a disadvantage for them. Even if it only turns up now and then, they should be able to read it. It really isn't that different from printed letters.

Penmanship should be taught. Even printed letters need penmanship.

My handwriting was a lot better before the Internet and computers. Now my hand gets tired quicker than it did when I wrote longhand frequently.
