    		Re: Spencerian Script:

    Platt Rogers Spencer whose name the style bears, was impressed with the idea that America needed a penmanship style that could be written quickly, legibly, and elegantly to aid in matters of business correspondence as well as personal letter-writing.

    It was gradually replaced with the simpler and less elegant Palmer Method developed by Austin Norman Palmer.

    		Thanks Zb. I wasn't looking at my notes and omitted "Spencer". Apologies to all who were confused.

    Is there anyone called Mark Spencer who works for Marks and Spencer?

    Michael Marks would not have used the name Spencer, when he created Marks and Spencer, if it had been up to him. What name would he have used?

    Some TV shows are based on other countries' TV shows and vice versa, and I know there is an international Seasame Street, but was there an international Mr. Rogers, or was it the same Fred Rogers we saw in the States?
