Handwriting

[Reliant121]

Another pointless question/poll/etc but, how do people write? It poked up in one of my psychology lessons, so im curious to see how people generally right.

I am so sad that I decided to give an example. Most of my teachers often chastise me as my handwriting is, apparently, nigh on impossible to read. I write with a strong italic to the left, with lots of flourishes and I write very quickly so most of my letters are fairly small. Here you go, anyway.



Tis a little blurred, but here you are from my psychology revision book.

Have at it people. Or don't, simple curiosity.

I tend to write in a somewhat flowy script with a definite, but not overly pronounced, slant. If I'm jotting something down in a hurry, I tend to gloss over the characteristics of the individual letters... and my signature is stylized to the point that it might as well be a prescription pad.

My handwriting is like that of the stereotypical doctor. But that'd be an insult to the doctor. I don't do cursive. I hate cursive.

[Nickswitz]

Mine is terrible according to me, and wonderful to everyone else. I generally write in print, or shorthand.

[Mikey]

Weird. I find it tedious and annoying to write in block print. I even write notes in my blood sugar journal in cursive.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

My cursive could almost pass as an alien language. "Wait... she sells seashells by the discotheque?"

Hmmm. The very first (and one of the only) French phrases I learned was "J'allez la bibliotheque avec des pommes frits et des haricots vert."

("I go to the library with french fries and green beans.")

There is a reason I type almost a hundred words per minute, because my handwriting is worse than a physicians.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

*Puts Mark's handwriting over Striker's* Oh, the Grand Unifying Theory!

Mine's probably worse.

[Sonic Glitch]

Definitely an incoherent mess.

An incoherent mess, and awfully dense and small. One standard A4 sheet with lines can easily yield 20 words per line and put 500 words or more on a single page. Also, it's cursive, nigh unreadable at the size of 8 to 12 points if you would try to approximate it in word.

I write small. Take the standard lined paper, and add two lines in between each line. Thats my writing size. as for style... pretty much an abomination of regular and cursive.

That would be about my size as well. If I want, I can jot 50 words on 3 square cms of paper and decipher it the day after. Nobody else can, though.

[LaughingCheese]

You people still use paper ?

I try to do most of my stuff electronically. I can't stand paper mess.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I like to mail cards to my friend Kathy. Electronic stuff is too... easy, for me.
