CURSIVE PENMANSHIP 101

My handwriting now sucks. slowly it has devolved into something that no longer seems like my handwriting. It's even painful when I try.
I ran across this short article  tonight.
and some cool links about the 2 basic cursive styles:
Spencerian (a fabulous 19C classic script)
and
Palmer method (the updated version I had learned in grade school in the usa- vastly different than what I learned as a late toddler in the caribbean)
