content: Still? the thing used to be a requirment in BW during my school time, at least in the Grundschule. After that people stopped caring how you wrote, it was just important that what you wrote was readable, which is why I switched from joined to print. Nobody could read my stupid joined handwriting. Now I have started encountering forms which are impossible to fill out with fountain pens due to the lack of pressure placed on the paper. The forms are actually self filling triplicate forms that have those weird push through papers.  That just sucks because I usually only have a fountain pen or a mechanical pencil with me.
