I have just tried to write a penned letter and have found that I barely can anymore !! :-(

I have almost lost the ability to write with a pen .. it seems that all we ever do now is use a keyboard or a text pad that our writing ability has gone down the pan .. my writing style is terrible and full of mistakes and just looks plain untidy ... I used to be such a neat writer with a nice penstroke but now it looks like a child wrote it ...

About the only time we write now is when we have to sign our signature to buy goods but even that is going here with the advent of pin codes instead ..

Anyone else feel their writing has suffered as a result of lack of use??

I have ripped up letter 3 now and trying once again!!

Why not type it up and then transcribe. It will help reduce mistakes.

I never had good penmanship. I usually print and that that is still atrocious.

IRONY:
Writing takes longer than typing, yet more shortcuts are taken now typing then with writing.

LOL
WTF

But then again, we do type more than we ever did write, so of course due to it's easy and the fact that most of our communication is now done via the internet.

Yeah...my penmanship has always sucked so it makes no diffrence to me. I use a clipboard in the shop so I still write a bit, but even I have a hard time depicting what I write now and then.

Hey, isn't screw ups on paper one of things that make your writing endearing? That way people can really see how much you f up?

 

They can already see that from the number of posts I edit because of my long nails tapping the key above instead of the one I want EEERR!!! ..lol

Long nails...gerrrrr. I gotta get my mind outta the gutter, okay I'm back in

 

Writing is overrated, thats what printers are for

 

I just find there's nothing quite like the personal touch of a nicely penned letter :-)
