Most people think wide or college ruled lines are just comfort choices, but the line spacing standards were actually created for different handwriting instruction methods: the 19th-century Spencerian script favored very wide spacing, while Palmer Method proponents pushed narrower lines to speed up business writing. The surprising bit—paper manufacturers later standardized ruling widths to match school curricula shifts, meaning your notebook lines helped shape national handwriting styles and even job training efficiency. 📝
