Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 20, 2016

Loved the cursive here. Wondered if there are many that can’t read it.

Making unintended noise is a good start to the morning.

ksu71, as a teacher, your question makes me wince….There are kids that can’t figure out a rotary dial phone…And others can’t read a clock if it isn’t digital…

FITNESS logs work fine. What she’s writing is a WELLNESS log.

ksu71They are the ones who say, “Cursive, foiled again.”

I’m thinking those “unintended body noises” include snaps and pops of various joints.

Cursive, yeah… teachers always had the best penmanship—except for my 8th grade history teacher. He would print, very teeny tiny on the blackboard.

My dad still has and uses the rotary phone we used in the early sixties.

Cursive is much faster, but uncial is more readable once you get afflicted with effective tremor. Even so, it has a “shelf life” of about 30 minutes for full reading, dropping slowly beyond that time.
