we know how those doctors about to retire type: index punch, index punch, left hook index tap, brawler's right kiss index tap - thumbs are for the spacebar! but this little oddity got me thinking: i can tell you that my grandfather had beautiful handwriting, and a massive library, and all of this... under a communist regime... more books than the modern capitalist household, let me tell you - oddly enough i followed suit, never truly recognised my father aged eight at victoria coach station - 4 - 8 under my grandfather's construct - 6 - 8 psyche of a child given a doberman by his mother and left, upon return asking for a devil's mask in warsaw, the same devil mask a furore at a fancy dress party in school ripped by friends all wanting the share of suffocating under plastic. but this got me thinking, i never had the proper handwriting fluidity for an A grade in english during examination, that's always a grade more than anything you put your mind to in terms of content. so... on handwriting fluidity: omega alpha beta flows nice, because the greeks managed to convene that letters had to have names, no wonder the export of greek lettering into mathematics and science... imagine if it was the romanic letters: that's *** arr squared: peeing on the arc of triumph seeing sqaures?! bonaparte with a bunch of pirates?! no! πr2, the area of the ****** circle! never mind that, that's just me overstepping the giggles, but i think because of the non-complex denotation of the romanic letters we have terrible handwriting, just like it sounds, punched in by dyslexic judy separately: look - a' b'e c'e d'e e' z'ed. no wonder the alphabet turned to programming and cyborg fancies - plus it's no fun trying to remember alpha bravo charlie... i mean, it's a bit ****, that nato phonetic ******* over the phone: oscar v. ω? ω! romeo v. ρ? ρ! sierra v. σ? σ! let's face it, greek too ancient and romanic trying to speed up... no wonder there's a bit of charlie and the x-ray; or maybe this whole phoneticism is a way to say - keep that ugly so we can lego it into beautiful stances of the fencing tongue.
