what’s ironic is that they made a computerized font of Schulz’s lettering style which they used when his hand got too shaky to letter, like in all those greeting cards. Man was ahead of his time.
Litigation is the national pastime, not only in the US but in the UK. That said, I feel CB’s pain. Oh, Palmer Method, how inadequate you made me feel. There actually were girls in the class who could imitate it perfectly…I always told myself that perfect penmanship was an indication of shallow character. I know, it was mean-spirited of me, but that’s how I felt at age 8 or whatever.
We all have different ways of writing cursive. Some people write completely cursive. Some people print everything. Some people mix it. And then of course some people are very neat with their writing and some (myself included) have horrid handwriting. (But then of course, it is said that the messier the handwriting the more intelligent the person is. That is the case so that they get all their ideas out before they lose them.)
When I began teaching children here in southern Europe, I printed on the blackboard. I was told by my 7 yr old students, “We can’t read that.” They are taught to write in cursive from the very beginning. The simple books used to teach them to read are also printed in “cursive” script. Printing comes later.

Why do you have to sue?

Curse you, cursive!

Why sue? That’s the American way.

Hmm, either they were sue-happy back then too, or CB has started a revolution of suers (sewers) in this country.
