Fun is fine.

But it's like a verbal conversation...someone says something and the other person is reminded of a certain thing...and off they go on a somewhat related tangent.

No harm intended.

Ditto. I didn't intend for my comments to be contentious - just, as you say, commenting on the comment.

 

If anyone was offended, I withdraw my input (symbolically, since we're not able to delete postings).

Very nice. I don't think I'm going to be able to find that one down at Staples, though. :hmm1:

CROWDOG, UNDERDOG, ET ALIA:

 

If I might get a bit noisy and personal for a moment, I apologize if offense is taken, none meant. I too use all caps, no lower case.

I must admit, busy days with lots of charting have caused my handwriting to be a lot sloppier than your examples, or how mine was in college, aka the 1960's. Did any of you go to either Reservation Boarding Schools, or schools run by Nun's of the Catholic faith. I did and cursive penmanship was quickly glossed over in the 3rd Grade or so. I used to identify ex BIA Boarding School patients by their use of all Caps. Curiosity killed the cat, I know. Crowdog, was a very famous name and always an honored visitor to the IHS Clinics I worked in in South Dakota., in the Late 1970's. Jim

Jim,

 

Not me. Went to public schools in Massachusetts in the 1970s-1980s. I do know how to use cursive, but it is arrested in it's development.

Guilty as charged (Catholic school, grades 1-5); but our cursive wasn't in the least cursory. In fact, I got marked down because I did not, apparently, hold my pencil correctly.

 

I use block caps quite a bit in my work, as it includes a goodly amount of computer language syntax that doesn't lend itself to cursive. For any extended writing, I use cursive, which looks a bit like this.

 

So, for me, it's not that I can't write cursive or even that my cursive is horribly malformed. It's just that block caps are sometimes the better tool for the job.

I started writing in caps when I was hired at an Architecture firm five years ago as an intern. I was told to do nothing except copy text from drawings and letter it in caps. I found out how much nicer my handwriting looked in caps. However, the letters that would normally be lowercase are half the height of the caps, yet are still caps. If that made any sense.

Thanks everyone. I was just curious if this was a cultural thing or a personal thing. Miami Arc student. Yeah , Me Too. Those letters needing true capitalization, say first Word/letter in a sentence, Washington, DC, etc. The Capitalized letters are 2x the size of the smaller, non lower case also Capitalized letters. So I end up with the lower case letters 1/2 the size(in caps) of the Capitalized (in caps ) letters. Jim
