I shall submit myself to thine request for individual intakes on chirography
How frequently do you find yourself writing or printing?
Every other day on the odd occasion I feel compelled to want to remember something, yet not actually take the mental strain of commiting within myself a phrenic note, I scramble for my pad and pen to jot down whatsoever is on my mind, so I can forget about it until the day I come across the note again and veritably recall its importance to me at that particular juncture in time.
Do you enjoy writing?
It's a routine in which one cannot go long without, like drinking water.
How do you feel about the quality of your cursive?
I don't know what this is
Are you bothered by others' penmanship?
If it is decidely atrocious, I'll inform the person in question never to send me another letter forthwith, and to instead send me a postcard with the smallest possible regards.
Did you have to take an assigned penmanship course?
Maybe. I cannot truly recall if I did, but I don't see it out of the realm of possibility.
At what age did you stop focusing on your writing legibility?
I'd made a mental note (and as I've outlined above, I am especially horrible at remembering these types of notes) some time ago to purchase a small legal pad and devote some considerable time to repeatedly signing my name over and over and over again until I deem it satisfactorily-sufficient that this is the keen legiblity of a gentleman, and not some freckled crayon-wielding little girl.
Have you trained yourself in caligraphy or other artsy writing forms?
No, but that is a superb idea. But I'll have to spring for a class, though. For it is a right shame that each and every one of my Arabic, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, & Russian compatriots do not want anything to do with me, and my incessant requests to aid me in learning their respective native tongues/writings.
Do you feel that handwriting is a dying art?
No. I don't take stances on suppositions based upon my current mode of residence or country, for I always find once I move along, what was antiquated here is the common routine there. So, I'll say there is a fair percentage of pockets of the population that rely on the written word, while in other locales, it has perhaps been replaced (or never introduced in the first place) by spoken recitals and/or computational stenographs devoid of any resemblances of phalangic input.
