A Handwritten Letter… Cool

author Posted by: BenjieP on date Aug 30th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Everyday stuff, rants

So, today I got some replies to all the letters I sent to the Appleby’s. It was really cool… I haven’t corresponded with anyone since… ah… almost 5 years ago. That makes me feel old :P

So, what do you think? Is email better, or is it just more convenient? Are offline methods a thing of the past, or is there something special about them? Did you know that you can tell things about peoples’ personalities just by reading their handwriting? For instance….

  • How high you cross your T’s is related to how high of goals you set.
  • Whether you dot your lower case i farther forward, or farther backwards, is related to whether you tend to think towards the future or the past.
  • If you tend to use wide loops in your letters, it means you’re enthusiastic.
  • A forward slant means you’re emotional. (backwards means the opposite)

Interesting huh?

I wouldn’t say that writing letters is really the most effective, or efficient way of communicating, but then, it is nice to get a letter every once in a while eh?
