Since the time when computers and the Internet came into our lives, there is no longer such a need to write letters by hand, student essays and term papers. Now this can be done by typing on the computer.
Text in printed form is easy to parse, unlike an obscure and clumsy handwriting. But there are still teachers who love when the essay is written by hand, or the romantic guy wants to make something nice beloved and writes her a letter, poem or poems with her own hand. All this can be sent on the Internet or by SMS, but manually written text will add romance to such a gift.
It is much more beautiful when the text is written on white sheets of A4 format than on torn sheets from a notebook. But not many can write evenly on unplaced sheets.
To solve this problem, use a "zebra" for writing. When there was no “zebra," often it was necessary to lint the sheets by hand with a simple pencil, and then erase the pencil marks with an eraser. It took a lot of time, and the pencil lines could remain; the text written with a pen could also be smeared when the lines were erased. When using a "zebra" for writing, there is no trace left - only evenly written text on white sheets of paper.
What is a zebra?
"Zebra" for writing is made in the form of a piece of paper with horizontal stripes. She resembles an ordinary notebook in a line, but, unlike a notebook, they do not write on it, but it is placed under a blank sheet of paper through which the thick lines of the zebra will be visible. Now you can write in even, neat lines. To prevent the sheet from slipping when writing, the zebra is attached to it with two paper clips.
What are the "zebras"
Although the "zebra" is a sheet of paper with horizontal stripes, but not all of them look the same. On some, the distance between the lines is wider, on others - narrower. The height of the line on the sheets depends on the distance between the lines. If you write one work on several pages, it is better to use the same zebra. Otherwise, the height of the lines will be different, and this will affect the appearance of the work.
Also, "zebras" can be with several vertical stripes on the sides. These strips will help to make even, neat margins and the same paragraph indents.
Where to get a zebra?
Not sure where to get the zebra for writing? It can be bought at the stationery store or at the market. It costs quite a bit, but its benefits are very significant, especially for those who often write by hand. You can also download and print a zebra for writing. There is just one for you on the Internet. It is better that everyone has it, since it is not known at what point it can come in handy.
