Why does Joe print?


-written by Michelle Dresbold

Dear Michelle,

  In second grade I learned how to write in script, but my handwriting (penmanship) was somewhat poor.  My mother’s response was to make me practice writing in script, and by the end of the year I had very good penmanship.  In the fourth grade, several events occurred that would have an impact on my writing and my life.  In a nutshell, I went to Mexico to live with my father for a year.  My father’s response to practicing writing in script was that it was a waste of time.  He said that printing was more legible.  While there would be many things I would disagree with my father about throughout my life, this wasn’t one of them, because it made infinite sense to me even as a nine year old.  Needless to say, I’ve been printing ever since.  

Any insights my handwriting can provide you would be appreciate.  

Sincerely, Joe from San Diego 

Dear Joe, 

It is much faster to write in a cursive script than to print.  So why do so many people choose to print? There are basically two reasons people always print:

  1. Their cursive writing is illegible or difficult to decipher, in which case, they print out of practicality and consideration for others; or
  2. Even though their cursive is legible, they prefer to print because printing is a way of disconnecting from their emotions -- and preventing others from “reading” them through their writing.

 

At nine years old, you had a choice: to write like your mother in a connected cursive style or to write in a disconnected script (printed style) like your father.  You chose to write like your father.  Why?  By the end of third grade you had very good penmanship, so you didn’t need to print to be legible.  I suspect, that you “picked-up” a trait from your dear old dad. That trait was hiding your emotions.  And people who write in an all-capital, block-print style are masters of concealing their feelings. 

In the United States, men are ten times more likely to print than women. 

It’s interesting that you became a determined printer as a 9-year old American living in Mexico.  Beginning in the 1980’s, by order of President Jose Lopez Portillo, the teaching of cursive writing was prohibited in Mexican grade schools.  As a result, many Mexicans can no longer read or write cursive or even sign their own name. 

This writer chooses to write in an all-capital block print style. This shows that the writer doesn’t want others to “read” him.

"This is singularly the most empowering seminar I have ever attended. It is said that one must love oneself before one can love another. I would carry that thought further to say that in order to effectively help anyone else, one must effectively help one’s self first. Grapho-Therapy is an efficient and effective means to do just that. "
