My only issue is that I might be practicing incorrect proportions especially for the longer strokes. There are times I occupy 3 lines for the longer letters like B…
A person in the Gregg Facebook group wonders why “entry” is written nt-r-e when there is a special short form for “enter”. I’ve checked the dictionaries, and I notice that this form for “entry” is used from Preanni onward. I too am puzzled now, particularly about Preanni, where the -ter rule held sway. Why is…
