I was a sloppy writer in High School, but I've gotten better about it. I just try to make the most of the paper, which leads me to writing in smaller, more tightly-packed letters. This is in comparison to a work partner of mine, who can go through a whole piece of paper in one paragraph with his multiple-line-spanning Chicken Scratch. It's not that he *can't* write more neatly - he just doesn't care. I hated having to proof-read his papers before presentations...I'd show an example, but I threw it away in disgust.
I used to write really neatly (calligraphy pen and all that) before I decided it was too much effort... then I broke a bone in my writing hand and it was all downhill from there. I like my handwriting though - it tends to hover between 'sloppy' and 'completely illegible' but it's got a kind of flow about it, y'know?
I can still write neatly if I make the effort but it's so rarely that I need to, it's not even worth considering really.

My parents were told that I would never write even close to legibly due to the fact that I have a fine moter skills disability. I showed them all wrong... now its almost legible.
I write in a way only I can read cos' it all yust look like... Bojangles, but I can write really nice too but I don't have time for that.
My handwriting is atrocious. I don't write anything in cursive, and I haven't since it was required in middle school. I print everything (and my printing is fantastic, bordering on girly...no lie, I even used to dot my "i"s with circles. Same with periods). Since I never used cursive, and thus never got better at it, if I wrote something in cursive today it would look like a sixth grader's handwriting.
My signature is awful. It's not even an illegible scribble, it's very clearly the signature of someone who just learned how to write in cursive and is trying very hard to make it legible. Lately I've gotten lazy and started leaving letters off my first and last name, but it's still awful.

I see where ur going with that but im gonna google itnunqual said:
Best answer i found was
Girls have a head start on fine-motor skills, so perhaps both boys and girls continue writing as they did as children. The boys continue with their cramped chicken scratching, and the girls continue with their graceful looping script. There is a social component, of course (the feminine need to be pleasant and non-threatening), but biology has something to do with the difference.
Geez Louise lol. It looks like you were writing a letter and someone started choking you for a bit and then abruptly left.Betancore said:When I'm just printing, it looks pretty neat. My 'note taking' handwriting is pretty bad, though. I think most of the time, it's just scribble that represents the approximate length of the word.
I think this one wins hands down... not that there is a contest or anything.nunqual said:Geez Louise lol.

In Russia I was only taught cursive in grade school so technically I never even learned how to 'print.' It's so illegible the teacher would ask me if I wrote with my foot or my hand, not like there's a difference.
