Penmanship develops patience and tenacity. Also an appreciation for one’s own writing style, such as how one chooses to cross a ‘t’ or loop a ‘q’. Good penmanship is a thing of quiet beauty. And then there’s chickenscratch...which is not.
I’m one of the left handed types that loves typing and word processing. The most writing I do is scribble a signature.
Ink would smudge. Couldn’t write on a chalkboard well.
My handwriting is mostly illegible.
