Difficult Words Practice Sentences

[FayeV]

This thread was pinned at the top before the recent forum changes/reorganization.

I refer to this thread often when I'm practicing my handwriting.

Would it be possible to re-pin this?

What I find funny is that some of the passages in Elizabethan English that I have read while studying Shakespeare actually have the "v" and "u" completely reversed from modern spelling. For example, aboue instead of above, vnder instead of under. They are not likely transcription errors when the play was originally set in type (400 years ago) since the "u" and "v" in secretary hand look very, very different. Of course, spelling was still not standardized at that point.

That was probably because they were transitioning from the Latin alphabet in which u and v are interchangeable.

So, 3 years after the contest, is anyone still practicing difficult sentences?

I have added a link to this thread in the pinned handwriting aids thread (here) so we can benefit from this effort for a long time to come.
