I'm just explaining what <em>my</em> handwriting is like. It may be interesting for other people to compare it with theirs, and count how many letters are different.

I need to refer to such standard when my American students are sometimes raising concerns about my handwriting on the blackboard. Basically I follow the nation-wide handwriting standard for the Latin alphabet that existed in the USSR. However, there ia two deficiences in the proposal. (1) The low-case letter 'l' (Lima) is indistiguishable from the digit '1' (One). At least one of these should be modified to make them different. I would prefer the digit having a small "nose" and a "base". (2) The digit '0' (zero) is completely missing. It must be added and it must differ from the upper-case letter 'O' (Oscar). Possible solution is crossing the zero with a dash. I appreciate that at last somebody in the English-speaking world has taken his/her time to develop a handwriting standard.

The second step was to put the frames together using a program called UnFREEz (http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/).
