What does your handwriting look like?

I like print better than cursive - because that way, I can be sure that everybody can read my writing.

I don't mean to alarm you but you have dogs on your face
I think the last time I wrote in cursive was about 8 or 9 years ago. Seriously.

I stopped writing in cursive when I was in 7th grade, 11 years ago I guess. I stopped signing my name in cursive when I was about 17.

Drop 400 spiders onto a piece of paper, and then smash them repeatedly with a mallet before any escape the page - the resulting mess will still be more readable than my handwriting.

My handwriting is absolutely horrible. Always has been, and always will be. My typing is remarkable, though :p

My handwriting is extremely shitty, mainly because I write really fast. Most of the time it just looks like scribbles.

You should see my brother's.

It's not good.

I also cannot settle on which capital N and A to use. My N alternates between the three straight lines or a smooth arch, while my A sometimes it's triangular, sometimes it's curved, but most of the time I use a really big lower case a for capitals.

But a few years ago I changed from straight line capital E to curvy E and have never looked back.

That reminds me, I alternate between cursive and block print pretty much at random. In the middle of a sentence every now and then I'll write a cursive style letter and just go with it, almost like I forget that I wasn't writing in cursive before. It's a good thing I never really study notes I take, because it would probably be pretty hard to do.
 
I've heard studies have been done linking handwriting and intelligence.

Basically the neater the handwriting, the dumber the person is. If you think about it, looks at most girl's handwriting, especially stupid chicks. They right all big and slow, making it so pretty a 3 year old can read it, and they're dumber than a sack of hammers.

My print has finally improved to the point where it looks like MIMIC's. My cursive has always been completely illegible, thanks in part to my dyslexia, and in part to the years of conflicting instruction I received.

They beg to differ. :) (although that was just a quick Google).

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.
 
My handwriting is horrible also. It shifts from sentence to sentence; some parts look decent other parts look like something written by 7 year old. Besides my signature, I haven't written anything in cursive since elementary school.

Anyone remember the spiders on drugs experiments with various webs? Take some of them, drop them in ink and drop on a page.

I started writing in all caps after I saw how cool it looked in Kill Bill. Now my handwriting looks hot.

I've just about perfected my cursive handwriting now after copying a lecturer who has the best handwriting I've ever seen (didn't much care for his subject though). But anyway, how do you do the capital letter F?! I've never seen anyone else use one, and mine always look stupid - either too straight or too much like the lower-case version.

My handwriting is terrible, and seems to get worse every year. I usually print just so people can understand what I'm writing.

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. :p


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. :p

The CD Marker made a mess of my writing (looks way more readable with when written with a fine tip like a normal pen(cil))

Because it's legible? :p

I see girly handwriting as the stuff that's huge, swooping, and bubbly, and impossible to read as a result. And I don't dot my Is with hearts.
