JL, I take issue. To ask for a sample of handwriting is to put someone on
the defensive for no reason. That's wrong. Especially since the issue isn't
handwriting but the larger issue of masculine/feminine. Also, the object of
the preposition takes the objective case. In other words, to interested
parties like me, him, them.

Thank you for the correction. Indeed "like _me". I was thinking of things
like strawberries. When you can say, "He likes them like I" (i.e. "like I also
do"), or is it always "like _me_"?
I'm surprised Geary has girlie handwriting, incidentally. (Back to the
topic). But then he says he's eso-teric.
Cheers,
JL
