agilebritAnd the font that is used in Da Boy's books is Times New Roman.
He has apparently decided that his handwriting should look the same. *facepalm* So, he does the little curlicue at the bottom of the small "t" and the "i" looks just like the font.
And I'm having a hard time convincing him that our handwriting isn't supposed to look like typewriting.
It's going to be a long year.

Date: 2007-09-26 09:08 pm (UTC)It was crazy in my early years how much emphasis there was on penmanship. There was a grade for it that counted every bit as much as reading or math. This did not bode well for me, because I had definite ideas about how letters should be written! I well refused to make a cursive capital "Q" that looked like a "2." I also took exception to capital "S," "T," "F," "J," and "G." I liked my interpretations much better than Miss Kettle's! It was a relief when penmanship was no longer a graded class.
I was such a shy, compliant child, but I was absolutely adamant when it came to things I thought were plain wrong!
