Handwriting
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.

Re: Handwriting
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.
I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast
as Bull offed Custer

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

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

Re: Handwriting
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."RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:My cursive could almost pass as an alien language. "Wait... she sells seashells by the discotheque?"
("I go to the library with french fries and green beans.")

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

the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

*Puts Mark's handwriting over Striker's* Oh, the Grand Unifying Theory!
Mine's probably worse.

Re: Handwriting
Definitely an incoherent mess.
"All this has happened before --"
"But it doesn't have to happen again. Not if we make up our minds to change. Take a different path. Right here, right now."

Re: Handwriting
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.
Re: Handwriting
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.

Re: Handwriting
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.stitch626 wrote:I write small.

Re: Handwriting
You people still use paper ?
I try to do most of my stuff electronically. I can't stand paper mess.

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