Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

There is this friend of mine who has an incurable (though he tries) habit of writing messily on paper. Be it homework, or application forms, his scrawls easily rival those of a doctor’s.

For one, I know that his teachers have worn themselves out trying to get him to write more legibly, not only for dis-ambiguity’s sake, but more often than not the teacher’s sanity. With 30 more scripts to correct (and that is for a class, we haven’t even started on those examination papers), more teachers are going to be getting glasses soon from squinting too much.

Now, someone has actually taken the time to analyse all his corrected assignments to test out the theory that fonts do affect grading, and it turns out that Georgia is the best font to use in academia settings. Maybe it gets professors in the universities all homey thinking about their own undergraduate days.

Looks like it actually pays to dedicate some effort into the presentation of your essays. University students should find this extremely interesting.
