Sometimes i agree it is barely legible! lol<br />So my question is does that mean they only teach printing now in American schools?<br />J'espere que vous avez un bon sejour a Maine et les homards sont delicieux!<br />Merci encore et je vous addresse mes meilleurs voeux :)<br />Annabella.Annabellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-79274028427501294122012-09-17T02:26:58.496-04:002012-09-17T02:26:58.496-04:00Sure I can!

It's called løkkeskrift, which basically means looped writing. Another fact; my french teacher told me that a lot of people are actually unable to read THIS KIND OF LETTERING, big letters like that, especially people from surten Asian countries. We had to be aware of that when we wrote on the blackboard during class, as there were people from so many different nationalities present.

I worked at Cartier in New York during the epoch when lie detector tests were outlawed during the employment application process (lie detector tests were a once common feature of the application process especially for jewelry and retail operations). I was in charge of finding a graphologist in Manhattan who could scrutinize the handwritten forms that prospective workers filled out -- it was totally Standard Operating Procedure on the Mother Ship in the Place Vendome.<br /><br />I talked with a lot of graphologists back then and since that time I've been very keen on peeking into friends' and strangers' psyche thru their handwriting. <br /><br />Whatever you do, watch out how you cross your Ts.
