Also, I too can read cursive. And write it, though I'd rather use my calligraphy pen and dole out some Fraktur.

I remember my dad getting Myst for me as a kid and it came with a blank notebook and that was it. I've started playing again. I was so pleased when I raised the ship to get to that level, even if it was mostly by accident.

Where you also one of those who read "Gisney" at the front of every Disney film even though you knew better?


I get better at reading specific cursive styles the more I look at them. I'm terrible with my dad's, but I can read my mother's terrible handwriting and my stepmother's as well, just from exposure. I'm trying to copy an old journal in the family that's written in cursive and it's awkward when I put it down for a while because I need to re-learn the writer's habits. For instance, her k strokes are far enough apart to look like two letters, and her t crosses are usually the length of the whole word, often missing the actual letter. My mother's l's always looked like h's because she has a bumped line at the bottom. My own hands tremble at times so my writing is all over the place.
