Wow, that is bewildering.

I was remarking on this recently, when I noticed how horribly a few people I know write. Even their own signatures look like the scrawl of a seven year-old who is just learning.

I really enjoy putting pen to paper. I taught myself caligraphy as a kid and I've always received compliments on my handwriting, which is neat and usually only in black ink (Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V7 Fine). I hate ballpoints... they smear their ink. I like mine to flow.

Imagine - generations of brats will sign their names in block letters or with an 'X.' Maybe they're betting on blackberries and Iphones being implanted in our forearms by that time?
