tiny, illegible, and steadily deteriorating. and it's actually an odd mix of print and cursive. i rarely ever write anything by hand. i was scribbling down a list of games to look for at circuit city, and even i couldn't make out several items. i think i've actually forgotten how to form certain letters.
Heh, same here. I do so much typing, and hardly ever take notes in class, so over the years I've actually forgotten how to write script sometimes. Sometimes I'll leave out letters from words or my hand will just all of a sudden slow waaaay down when trying to write a certain letter out in a word in cursive.
As for myself, well, I don't have a scanner, but my cursive handwriting is
very small (less so squished; it's "small" in the vertical sense), but my l's, f's, b's etc. extend upward very high and the loops are very thin; ditto for the loops that hang below the line. My writing also NEVER "leans" forward-- it's always upright. When I write in print (which is when I'm taking notes that I definitely want to be legible), I have a habit of writing in all capitals, as a poster above mentioned; don't know where that habit came from, but it's there. It also wastes a hell of a lot more time than writing either regular print or cursive, so I only use it for headings/emphasis. Sucks.
