Hello. I am a relatively new member to GreekChat.com. Although not a member of any Greek-letter organization, I have served as an adviser and am interested in learning as much as I can about Greek life. As a college professor, I found your post about scrambling letters in words intriguing. Thanks for sharing; however, if I may, I would like to provide a word of caution about writing and/or reading material constructed in this way via an example. The mind is extremely vulnerable to habit, which I think is evidenced by the fact that some students will submit papers for grading that contain acronyms, partial words, or abbreviated words, e.g. LOL, becus, etc., typically used when sending a text message. Although I understand what is being written, it is not a good practice to undergo in formal settings. I don't like having to downgrade papers for grammatical errors when I think this is happening unconsciously, but it is something that must be done so that students realize they are doing this. I don't think there are too many bosses who would appreciate this type of "language" while producing on the job material or E-mails.

I don't know that anyone would read that post over and over enough for that type of mismatched spelling to become habit.

I read it just like a normal paragraph.

I could have sworn this was posted on GC recently.

:D

Live-in started school in Canada and went the equivalent of Kindergarten to fourth grade before his family moved back to the US. His mom told me a funny story a few months ago.

Apparently, when he started school in the US, he couldn't read what the teacher was writing on the board. He FREAKED OUT. His teacher sent a note home, suggesting that his parents test him for all sorts of learning disabilities and asking them to set up a meeting ASAP.

They went to the classroom and met with the teacher, and everything went well and they set up a time for him to be tested. That night at home, live-in saw one of his mom's grocery lists and said "SEE - THIS IS WHAT I CAN'T READ. BUT I CAN READ!!!!!!!" The grocery list was written in cursive. He had no problems with printing.

Canada apparently doesn't teach cursive in schools, at least not before the fourth grade level. He still has problems with my handwriting (I write EVERYTHING in cursive because my dad was a handwriting NAZI) and can't write in cursive himself at all.

Hardee har har :p

My kids learned the d'nealian handwriting method from kindergarten and it helped them ease into cursive much faster than we did when I was in school. This link shows samples of the method.

I write in cursive a lot because it's so much faster. You don't have to stop, start, stop, start, etc. I can't imagine printing notes during a lecture.

That kind of depresses me, honestly. I went to Catholic school and got the Palmer method penmanship books drilled into me. If anyone else went to Catholic school, you will understand the emphasis on penmanship LOL. I write everything in cursive. Its so much faster. I ALWAYS took notes in cursive.....made it easier to keep up with what the teachers were saying. And my printing looks like dog s anyway. The cursive looks so much nicer :)
