A fine italic hand
After thirty years, the idea of teaching schoolchildren to use a type of italic handwriting instead of (ugh) this seems to have migrated eastward across the Rockies.
Coloradans mainly have the late Reed College art professor Lloyd Reynolds and other Oregon calligraphers to thank.
But the really thankful people might be patients, pharmacists, nurses, and others dealing with doctors who take this course.

Long, pointless rants from the tinfoil-hat brigade will be deleted, unless they are either highly literate or amusing--that guy was neither.
Whatever happened to teaching both print and cursive? I was. My handwriting is stil horrid, but they tried.
Wait. Now I see what you're talking about. It pays to read the links... *facepalm*
I think I'd have benefitted from learning italic. Like I said, my handwriting stinks. And I'm female, so the "boys in particular" line amuses me.
