[CW] Copy speed (Was: Straight key vs paddle)

[Ron Zond]

HI

I can do an "E" with just one stroke; draw the straight line down, back up
the vertical line, and make the horizontal
lines on the way back down. Takes some practice, but it can be done.

  David, you mean you print?  For me, an e is just a loop.  Cursive has
always been faster than printing.  Of course we could all learn shorthand,
but I just write the words as they come.

  You can modify your handwriting for more speed:  You can write an "E" by
making a swing like "(" with a right-going "-" at the center, or a zig-zag!

  Sure is faster when copying "E"!
