Itβs Saturday, 23 January 2021 (W3/D23)
Today is:
Calligraphers of the world, you write!
Another fine day that may be appreciated by many in these parts - Handwriting Day.
With computer keyboards as the new writing method, we often forget the good old pen and paper method. Today you are encouraged to put pen to paper, and show off your skills!
There is no official reason to celebrate Handwriting Day, but it is there so that people can appreciate the art of handwriting. Getting the chance to appreciate the art of handwriting is what this day is all about. In a generation of computers and electronics, it is important not to forget the importance of handwriting and how much we would be relying on this form of communication should technology cease to work!
Handwriting Day was started in 1977 when educators began to feel that the art of handwriting was getting lost as a skill. The Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) decided to do something about this, and that is how Handwriting Day came about.
There are already some examples of fine penmanship on the board. Anyone else keen to share a picture or two of their scrawl? Also, curious to know if anyone has ever had their handwriting analysed by a graphologist?
Have a superb Saturday!
