Re: Handwriting (again!)

I have seen many examples of German handwriting over the years. And yes, a lot of it falls into the 'quickly scrawled' category but I also have experience with the American version. We still get letters at the office where I work, and from time to time, I'm asked to interpret. The same with German writing. The number of possible characters is limited and context helps with determining what the word is or could be.

Using my own office as an example, there are people who have excellent penmanship and some who do not.
