    This is really sad. Are they not teaching kids good penmanship in 3rd and 4th grade anymore? Oh right, the teacher's handwriting is chicken scratch, so guess that's ruled out.

    All I know is that when I was in 6th grade, something like 13 years ago, I had better hand writing that these. And I could SPELL. Horrendous.

    Maybe they shouldn't be playing games like MGS4 which I'm sure isn't in their ESRB category and study a bit harder eh?

Looking at the full article linked above, there's a huge range of styles in there, and a couple of them are pretty good for their age. Some of them even look better than my classes in university, which should prove that not everyone is up to creating something that is classically beautiful.
