This thread was pinned at the top before the recent forum changes/reorganization.

I refer to this thread often when I'm practicing my handwriting.

Would it be possible to re-pin this?

What I find funny is that some of the passages in Elizabethan English that I have read while studying Shakespeare actually have the "v" and "u" completely reversed from modern spelling. For example, aboue instead of above, vnder instead of under. They are not likely transcription errors when the play was originally set in type (400 years ago) since the "u" and "v" in secretary hand look very, very different. Of course, spelling was still not standardized at that point.

That was probably because they were transitioning from the Latin alphabet in which u and v are interchangeable.

"Science fiction is an existential metaphor, that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said: 'Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

So, 3 years after the contest, is anyone still practicing difficult sentences?

I have added a link to this thread in the pinned handwriting aids thread (here) so we can benefit from this effort for a long time to come.

I may not have been much help, but I DID bump your thread up to the top.

      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..

      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
