Which are you?


I'm a number 7

7 with printing but at times 5 if I am writing casually as I write with a cursive "drag" outside important documentation.

I'm a 7. Right-handed American.

I gave up on cursive long long ago.

I have always printed, even then it's hard enough to read. Computers and printers were a yippee moment

The typewriter is another fiend.
I was glad to see those satanic torture devices relegated to museums.
No spell check....no easy correction...bulky bahsterds...& mechanical
keys aren't friendly to injured fingers.

Intelligent autocorrect is up there with typewriters.

In Hell, Satan punishes with manual typewriters which use autocorrect and autotune.
But the fun doesn't stop there....
You must wear a MAGA hat, bland pantsuit, & no gloves while
typing away on red hot keys shaped like diseased genitals.
Hieronymus Bosch had no idea how bad it could be.

 

[Curious George]

7. It was the way I was taught. Drill and practice made this habitual. Was anyone else actually taught different? And, can anyone provide a letter worksheet where the letter is explained and 7 is not the way the letter is instructed?

Been to hell, no Satan there, its run by a guy call Mike. No maga hats, no pantsuits, no gloves. And typing on red hot genital shaped keys would be heaven

I think that was just Satan's waiting room.
Did you notice that all the magazines were old with
pages torn out....and some really suspicious stains?
The punishment begins even there.

I had a Selectric which had a correcting ribbon. That was a big deal, actually. Having to do a correction before that was kind of a pain.

That Selectric was pretty bulky, though. My grandfather had a portable manual typewriter which was a lot lighter.

I remember the existence of those things.
Too spendy for me.
You must come from money.
