Is it good, bad or indifferent? My handwriting is legible to me..but not sure how many others could read it. It is not as bad as others I have seen however. My parents used to make me practice my hand writing as it was bad..and I would write a couple of paragraphs and show them. They would make me re write it, and I would show them the same paragraphs! lol..I was always a sneak! However after awhile they caught on! I wish I had beautiful handwriting instead of barely legible!

Not me, some of the few U's I ever got on my report card were for handwriting.

My handwriting has seriously deteriorated over the years. My signature is garbage these days.

@DianneN SPED self-contained govt, history, literacy..my background is actually in counseling, but you know how desperate school districts can get. They need to fill a quota at times.

Mine wasn't good as a kid. We had penmanship in school and my grade wasn't great. However, it was always legible to the average reader. Now, as I've aged, my handwriting has gotten a bit worse. I type everything on the computer before sending out any letters.

I haven't even tried to write for awhile actually. I will print if something written is required.

@just4him Yes, if I have to handwrite something I have to work at it to make it look decent and be legible.

@snowy22315 I usually do too, or do my best with my handwriting so it doesn't look so bad.

Mines good / nice, if trying. Have gotten many compliments on it. But if I don't care, then it's kinda sloppy but still legible

I have terrible handwriting. It looks like a cross between Farsi and Egyptian heiroglyphics

My handwriting is awful and it's one of 3 reasons why I did not take the government board exams for my course.

@snowy22315 Board exams were handwrittern then that is why I did not take the risk. They said that board examiners won't bother reading your answers if your handwriting was bad and would flunk you outright.

Does you hand cramp all up after having to rewrite over and over again your handwriting? So are your parents around and telling you still to rewrite things?

They are around, but they have given up trying to make me do things like that for sure. I am, who I am. I have always wondered if breaking my wrist as a child had something to do with it. My wrist was broken when others were writing. I read somewhere that it can affect your range of motion.

snowy, I am sure breaking your wrist can have an effect on things. Was it ever fixed or still the same?

My handwriting is a combination of printing and script. That's what taking notes in college does to your penmanship.

Calligraphy is pretty..I know my mother studied that for a while too..but I never thought her calligraphy was very good. It didn't look professional.

@snowy22315 I still have my calligraphy set with the fountain pens. Sometimes I write the Christmas cards using those pens. The writing looks so beautiful.

The joke about my handwriting is that is written in a foreign language.

I used to write well but have spoiled my handwriting by always typing docs. on the computer. Well! I have started teaching face to face once again and have started writing.

Yeah, I just wrote something to look at it. I got curious about my own writing. I know sometimes when I go for this one focus group they always ask you to handwrite certain things..and they will usually make me re write something..it is embarrassing

@snowy22315 Technology has changed us so very much that we ourselves are unaware of our own self!
