I agree with you.
In Argentina, some students won �t use capital letters at all at the beginning of a sentence. |

OMG, It reminds me ......7 years ago I was assigned to teach a 3rd grade. I went there and I started writing on the blackboard. All the students were watching me, looking at the blackboard in surprise ....I didn �t know what was going on. I asked them what �s wrong and they told me they cannot understand my handwriting on the blackboard. they were used to use calligraphic handwriting. I really didn �t remember how to make a capital K.I asked them and they showed me. I felt the greatest shame in my life!!! It was my first year after graduating the University!!! and I must admit I didn �t know how to handwrite!!!!!!!Now I know!!!! |

Thanks Bruce!
Of course, I have seen these letter samples but I have never seen them used in real life exactly like this (in my country, at least). (Remember, English is a foreign language to us...)
I wonder how the English letters are written in France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Egypt etc...........

Hello Baiba,
the 3rd s is used widely in Germany as the capital S. Same goes for the j, t, and I although the I is a bit different.
In Germany there have been some reforms to simplify handwriting which turned out to end in a lot of zigzag lines when pupils don �t use too much care, Now they are going back to the basic handwriting as it has been used from the 70s to the 90s.... thant �s the place where your third S comes from.

yippee!!! I can read the letters..... without understanding the words.... quite similar to the german variety
Here a sample what they called a simplified version, very popular in the early 2000s (does this timespan exist???) . Turned ou to change into a nasty scrawl when the pupils got older

Dear Schnuffi,
I can understand your handwriting too! Lucky neighbours we are... 
I have some really old German-Czech dictionaries at home, they are written in the old way, Swabach, we call it... (Gothic writing)
It is really hard for me to read the vocabulary :-D...

Hello there!
My University teacher was oversensitive to the way we joined certain letters like t+h or o+r in the words. He used the perfect American handwriting when writing in English, and his Polish fonts were definitely different.
An American from Nevada told me she couldn �t get used to the Polish handwriting, hence, she found it incomprehensible at times. It �s like with the different accents, isn �t it?
Bye bye! :D
