I mention in this post to an article published in " elperiodico.com " ( http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=660520&idseccio_PK=1007&h = and provided by an mate (thanks Fernando), which refers to the Poor handwriting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The issue comes in the wake of the death of a British Army soldier in Afghanistan in a trap bomb placed by the Taliban and ended with the fatal outcome of Jamie James, 20.
Following this, Brown sent a letter of condolence to the family of the soldier, letter that was full of errors and that has prompted outrage (after seeing the letter, the truth does not surprise me) of the mother of the deceased soldier, who criticizes lack of sensitivity.
Given the way he was taking the case, Brown chose to call the boy's mother and apologize and to express its deep dismay to write the message.
Apparently, Brown was left blind in one eye during a game of rugby in his youth, and perhaps this motivation that may make some spelling mistakes and errors that appear in the letter, and therefore in his writing in general. These faults are seen in the letter consists, for example, confuse the name of the soldier's mother, "James" instead of "Janes" or errors in common words such as "sympathy", "companions" or " security, "giving the impression of being written very quickly and without the slightest care in its preparation.
As one would expect, this has been used as a political weapon by the conservatives in their struggle to topple Labour.
truth once seen the letter, reproduced above, no wonder the indignation of the lady, because not only are the errors appear, but we see another set of negative elements and some own handwriting of a person who holds office:
"Apart from the errors that are surrounded with red circles, we see how the line spacing-word is totally irregular, giving a sometimes excessive separation causes" fireplaces "In the text, with its meaning of anxiety, the need to see things clearly, which is corroborated by the irregular separation between words, which speaks well of overactive brain and it costs enough to make decisions.
Looking at the right margin, is certainly seen as careless. Finish line without any order, irregularly shaped, which tells of disorder, insecurity, besides being unsightly, not only the margin but the text in general, had poor handwriting in general. See also exist unfinished letters and / or poorly done, with a predominance of words desligadas.Y course, perhaps most striking is its mirror writing: I do not really know if this person can be left-handed, but If not, we're talking about new procrastination, selfishness, reservation, hesitation and opposition to the environment. "
Anyway, I'm not saying that the lack of proper vision in one eye may influence your writing (and indeed influences), but I must also say that to attribute all the items before this seems little more than excessive. And certainly shows a lack of regard for the person to whom the letter is addressed.
