That's how we do it.  It does a little practice and, being left handed,
I had to learn to write the label starting with the last letter and
working my way back to avoid smearing.

In cold weather, (I'm in Michigan) you gotta give it extra time to dry
before you start messing with it.

Granted, sometimes they can be hard to read but we've pretty much
discontinued the use of contractions at least on prewires so if the
label does get partially smeared, the next guy has more letters with
which to work out what the label was.
