FOR ANY TYPE OF HANDWRITING PRACTICE

 

Ideally, alphabet sentences should be fairly short and, hopefully make sense. I have a collection of them--some of which are quite contrived--such as, "Seven wildly panting fruit-flies gazed anxiously at the juicy bouncing kumquat." :sick: :blink: I've chosen some of the better sentences to list below. Most of us are already familiar with:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Here are nine others:

 

1. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

2. Several fabulous dixieland jazz groups played with quick tempo.

3. Back in my quaint garden, jaunty zinnias vie with flaunting phlox.

4. Five or six big jet planes zoomed quickly by the new tower.

5. Exploring the zoo, we saw every kangaroo jump and quite a few carried babies.

6. I quickly explained that many big jobs involve few hazards.

7. Jay Wolf is quite an expert on the bass violin, guitar, dulcimer, ukulele and zither.

8. Expect skilled signwriters to use many jazzy, quaint old alphabets effectively.

9. The wizard quickly jinxed the gnomes before they vaporized.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
