  Reminds me of when I was in grade school and being taught penmanship. 
Which I think I flunked.  :)
  Making loops over and over and over.
  I used to use a fountain pen all the time, which meant I wrote slower. 
Now its ball points and I write faster, but the faster I write the worse it
becomes.  Same with a pencil.
  Wonder if they still teach penmanship in school?  I doubt it.
  I read were some schools no longer even teach cursive due to pc's,
texting, etc. 
  I have used "text spelling" most of my life, shortening words when
taking/making notes, dropping vowels, etc.

  Nothing important.  :)
  I am easily bored by repetition, be it speaking or writing or signing my
name.

  That was pretty much what I was saying. :)
