[19th LA Inf]

I studied mechanical engineering back when we were actually taught drafting (machine shop and welding too). Once years later, someone who was watching me write a check in good engineering-school lettering remarked that "anyone writing like that had obviously blown $10,000 on an engineering education".

I'm left-handed too, and had to fight the teachers through the first few grades to keep from being forced to change. I don't think conventional cursive was ever easily mastered by lefties, not to mention the problem of dragging the fist through wet ink.

"anyone writing like that had obviously blown $10,000 on an engineering education".

I wish mine had been that cheap.
