Can you read the grocery list?

Good handwriting is almost a lost art. I know it's still taught in schools, but it certainly does not have the emphasis it once did. I suppose I'd be dating myself to say I had penmanship class when I was in elementary school. It was my worst subject. But handwriting is important. Bad handwriting allegedly causes 7,000 deaths a year when prescriptions are misfilled. Here's a quick primer from the New York Times with some times about how to write legibly.

Now that you mention it, it's really true: real cursive is almost lost to us. Seems like this article also has to agree: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=M884XKFC40E6&preview=article&linkid=ba33321e-6e22-47c3-bf3e-698d2db9a1e9&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d
