I just drag my hand right through.
My mother developed a system of writing that worked very well for her as a lefty. She didn't write, she printed. But when you looked at her printing, you would have sworn it was cursive. By printing each letter it lifted her hand off the paper between each letter and no smearing. No tilting of the paper, no curling the wrist. It was a supremely elegant style of writing. I attempted to emulate her writing for years and finally gave up when I decided it was something about being left-handed. Until I realized some 30 years later that my aunt wrote in nearly the identical style, and she's a rightie. Sigh. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
I was born left-handed, but my great grandfather, who I positively adored as a child, convinced me while I was young that being left-handed was wrong. So now I'm primarily right-handed, though I do some things lefty (like opening jars) and some things with either hand (I can try to catch things with equal levels of clumsiness in each hand). I never heard about the stuttering thing before, but I do have a tendency to stammer, particularly when I'm nervous.
It was a supremely elegant style of writing.
Envy!
While my script is infinitely readable compared to most lefties, I've always yearned for an elegant hand. This yearning has caused me to, over the course of my writing years, completely change my handwriting a number of times. No handwriting expert would ever match them up! (Thank God I got over the dotting my i-s with circles phase. No biscuit!)
hey, can anyone remember which episode of Buffy had the quote --
coffee, english breakfast, o pos? (in reference to morning beverages of choice) was it something blue?
That was Angel, and I believe it was the last episode of the 1st season.
It was an episode of Angel, IIRC.

Damn you, wee Heather! You beat me by 1 second!
You win this time.
What does she win?
I'm not sure. I was quoting Weebl & Bob.
I wish I could do an evil laugh! Alas, all I have is a naughty smirk.
I'm not sure. I was quoting Weebl & Bob.
If it's Weebl & Bob, she probably wins "pie". That, or a French vacation.
