Crappy handwriting

[shootingstar]

jeez, I can only type 35 wmp still..on computer.

Several months ago I was amazed to see incoming engineering design manuals with 40 pages of neatly handwritten mathematical design caculations and notes. Don't know how easy it is to type those huge formulae but alot of engineers don't have great handwriting or printing.

Oak, made an interesting point about spontaneous note-taking. That is still necessary to certain types of jobs involving on the spot inspections and investigations where audiotaping and videotaping still isn't enough.

And those notes can be taken seriously later on..for court or at least for compliance purposes.

On the flip side, I took several courses on Western hand calligraphy which include the border illumination work (the fancy floral stuff). I know I have a natural hand for executing perfect 45 degree or 33 degree angle script, depending on the style ..without line guide underneath.
