Refer to post #42, thanks.

POST #42, the easy way.

Notice all letters... are printed and not in longhand! Surely someone out there realizes why. Know your chirographics.

(Also, what happened to the "last" button? Is it a drag for anyone else to constantly scroll down long lists of posts?)

This is totally anecdotal, but I had an Egyptian landlord years ago. He was such a pain, I had many occasions to have to consult the lease, and I clearly remember his handwriting on the lease.

It looked like the writing on those notes and envelopes -- clumsy, laboriously written block letters.

I wonder if most foreigners who learned to write in a non-western style --say, Chinese or Arabic-- ever bother learning cursive writing, or anything other than block letters. On the other hand, how many of us who were born here use cursive script?

. . .if you want the 'last' button to appear; go to the top of the page where 'posted article begins'. . .just below FR header, there are options; you will see 'New Style'. . .or 'Old Style'. The 'Last' button can be seen again, by clicking on 'Old Style'.

Upside/downside; 'New Style' breaks continuous column into groupings. . .but, not as easy going up/down or 'back and forth' so to speak. . .

For this article, had decided to go 'Old Style' for one convenience over another.
