Who thought this would be easy? It's a heavy weight

For selkie, in continuance of a conversation:



I do not know if I am showing off at something that is trivial for everyone else, but it really was hard for me to learn to write by hand the first time; it feels like a neurological revolution that it is merely aggravating the second.

Oh, I like your descenders! I think that's what they're called -- the tails of the g or the y.

I couldn't write legible cursive until most of the way through the fourth grade, and they used to penalize one for printing, which I could do pretty well, but it was considered just a young child's precursor to cursive and made them impatient.

I still don't know what the issue was; maybe just some delayed fine-motor control thing.

Thank you!

Sounds normal to me. I was taught cursive in elementary school, but it never took except for my signature and a couple of ligatures.
