Handwriting Analysis, Fun or Tragedy

Handwriting Analysis

Handwriting Analysis can be fun or it can be a hair tearing, tears watering event.

I love working with the census reports and old writings and challenging my self to be able to

read what was written way back when.

Chuckling because MOM says my hand written letters are like a puzzle for her to follow any more.

She says I write in to much computerize and shorten the sentences to much.

Wow, has working on computers and making the shortcut terms so often used also with cell phones

creating an entire new set of worries for translators of our data in the future?

Obviously there are many styles of writing. I was taught Palmer Method, I can not recall what Dad was taught but it was even more elongated and flowing.

Some schools did not teach a specific style thereby creating their own nightmare. I love to read old

English and some times it makes more sense than what we use today.

So I have to reread my writing at least a few times before I hit the send button or the post button.

We are into the world of here and now and not the calm, write it at night, read it in the morning then if it still applies put it into an envelope and send.

I am sure it was many of those types of letters that helped the communication when my husband

was overseas for so many months at a time.

To often the wrong thing is said and the feels come to front and the message is lost due to

timing and errors.

Can you imagine trying to read something not written well enough your guessing at the words,

you are already stressed and you have missed the entire point due to handwriting and timing.
