That explains the handwriting of my GP, Dr “Buck” Buckaw. 😃

I was under the impression they actually taught doctors to write as illegibly as possible, as to thwart attempts at forging scripts, Plus I do know for a fact my pharmacy has a few ‘samples’ of what a particular doctors signature looks like, on file, so they can spot forgeries.

How are people going to read what their ancestors wrote if they ever find letters written by them?

The same way they translate ancient writings discovered today. Get an expert to tell you what is says.

I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. The way people communicate changes as new technologies are developed. Other than signing my name, I haven’t used cursive writing in quite some time.

Great, I think I will start a business like that. How do you make out your shopping lists?

Probably a lot of ancient writing was discarded because of that reason. Maybe that’s why they called anything they could read “inspired.” 😃
 
I have letters my husbands great gf wrote while serving in the Civil War. He was from PA. How wonderful to see his handwriting and read the descriptions of the war going on around him. He wrote them to his wife back home.
Wouldn’t be the same in an email.
