Strange. What do you mean by penmanship? In France we never learn such a thing (even my father, who learned to write at the time of ink wells, didn't learn anything special in writing but writing). We just learn how to write, and we do that with fountain pens mandatorily (fountain pens are mandatory till university, at least for exams - nobody cares what you write your notes with :) -). Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
