Which if my understanding of French pronunciation is correct, sounds a little teeny bit like “say your lines”, albeit with a strange accent, and is therefore an excellent pun and I am hilarious. Except that I had to explain it so it isn’t. //

OK so I’ve mentioned before that Seyès ruling, or French ruling if you prefer (and want to be WRONG about it), is the One True Ruling. One Rule To Rule that this Rule Rules them all? Tolkien missed a trick there. It is just BETTER than the others, because it will improve your handwriting. Seyès ruling includes three additional faint horizontal lines for every strong one, and vertical lines as well. The secret to beautiful handwriting is not, as many people think, a load of swirly weirdness. I include the swirly weirdness because it’s fun. But the secret to beautiful handwriting is consistency: however you form each letter, if you form it exactly the same way each time, and if the tops and bottoms of your letters match up with others in all the places they should, your handwriting will be lovely. This is why Seyès is the best: it trains you to line letters up not just at the top and bottom but also in three other places.
