Good Handwriting: A Perk?

[Astromancer]

Now the ability to do fine calligraphy of any type is a skill. But simply having nice handwriting, or elegant handwriting, or a fine copperplate hand, seems more like a perk than a skill. What do the people on this board think?

To clearify, I understand the ability to use several different type of handwriting is more of a skill, I just want to see if I'm right and good handwriting is properly a perk.

Thank-you for your attention.
