REAL self-improvement takes dedication and perseverence.

[woo me with science]

It's hard to change the way you make cursive letters!

"As a Master Alphabetician and handwriting specialist, Vimala Rodgers is intimately familiar with the meaning of each stroke of the pen.

For that reason she has designed The Vimala Alphabet. It is the only writing system that uses handwriting not only as a method of written communication, but also as a means of developing those traits necessary to build a successful and fulfilling life.

"Since pointed v's represent discernment, t's crossed on the top reinforce healthy self-esteem and the willingness to excel, and uncluttered circle letters support honesty, I have designed an alphabet that reflects the most positive aspects of ALL the letters, for in writing them, the writer, on a subconscious level, reaffirms the aspects they represent."



I'm going to start practicing today!

1. Hell yeah, it takes dedication

Vimala's system will wear your hand out as fast as printing. The word "alphabet" is broken into 7 discrete chunks! The "Master Alphabetician" seems unaware that there's a larger purpose for cursive than being happy-happy stylish.

2. It's about time

Those Qs, always so negative and sneering at me from their lofty vantage point on the page. It's about time, I tell you, that somebody put those letters in their place.

Well considering cursive style writing is becomming a lost art, and in some places not even taught, I'm sure this is gonna rock the world! :rofl:

5. At last, a genuine application for graphology!

I've read that some employers use handwriting analysis to weed out job applicants, which I find horrifying: you might as well do a tea-leaf reading. But imagine you're an employer, and one of your applicants writes in that style. You could immediately eliminate them, because who wants to employ someone that gullible?

6. I'd be fucked in that job market

My hand writing is atrocious. I type everything humanly possible. I do not write in cursive, as it is strikingly similar to the scribbling I did as a toddler and about as decipherable.

8. My handwriting is so bad that it's been known to blight crops and cause horses to go lame

I'm a lefty, with the classic "hook" when I write. With a supreme effort I can make my printing legible to the trained eye, but nothing short of an act of god will render my cursive intelligible.

7. Well, even though my right hand doesn't work too well any more,

my handwriting still isn't as ugly as that.
