Indeed! Also, it destroys a lot of the calligraphic abilities of children (My
handwriting would probably have been a lot better if I had learned to write in
another style. Now my handwriting looks like French schoolhand corrupted to
unrecognition :(( ). And it's so slow to write...

I do write on unlined paper, but then my baselines get anything but straight (I
am very irregular). I prefer writing on lined or grid paper (for letters I
cheat, using a lined sheet behind my unlined paper, and following the lines by
transparency). At least then I don't waste half of the page because my lines
can't even agree on their orientation...
