Poll: How good or bad is your handwriting?

[Crowghast]

My script is all over the place, sometimes tight and small, sometimes over-sized and broad. If it weren't for those handy little guiding lines I always end up trailing downwards, upwards or in alternating lines until my sentence just plunges off the page and ends up looking like a stock market chart.

Then again, all that matters to me is that [i\]I[/i] can read it. If they can't take the time to translate my musings, it's their loss. Those [i\]illiterate proles.[/i]

Well, when I lived over in Russia and Venezuela they taught me cursive but since the US barely uses cursive and I write exclusively in cursive, it creates problems...

 

[Macgyvercas]

Let me put it this way: My signature could be mistake for a doctor's perscription note

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Sloppy, and it gets bigger as I write faster. After I finished an exam at uni my tutor asked me, "did you write a book???"....nope just big handwriting.

 

[Avayu]

Sloppy, but more or less barely readable when I write in print. Completely illegible to the point where it just as well could be hieroglyphs when I write in cursive. If I really, really concentrate and write very slowly, just as if I'd do calligraphy, then I'm able to write not only legible, but actually pretty neat. But I generally save that for birthday cards and that kind of stuff.

It borders on illegible.... Most people can read it, but it takes a good amount of effort.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

It's readable and it never falls below a standard of medicore. Even after this 6 weeks off school my hand writing is pretty neat. It's nothing fancy but at the moment it looks like it is as everyone elses is s**t.

I've only been told twice that it looks good which is good to know but I never really try to make it better than it is.

 

[imnot]

illegible. I can be ok if I try.

 

[Liam1390]

My handwriting is horrible, I make sure to type up all homework that I have.

 

[Jedamethis]

It takes a lot of effort for me to make my hand writing readable, and I have hand-written anything for a while a while, so it's gotten even worse.

Yeah, same here.

 

[Xojins]

I have very neat handwriting for a guy if that counts for anything.

 

[Mariakitten]

Perfect, I only write in cursive and its almost like calligraphy.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Almost completely illegible. It's gotten even worse since I've gotten to college and I've less use for it. I can barely read my own notes, that's how bad it is.

 

[tomtom94]

Like complete and utter crap; particularly as I've been on summer holidays and not done any writing for two months.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Damn near illegible, to the point that sometimes, I have no idea what I wrote when I go to read it later.

 

[Grayjack]

Sloppy. Preschoolers have better handwriting.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Absolutely abysmal, since I'm the only one who can read it I fell into the habit of just scribbling all over the paper and memorizing what I was going to say.

I don't really do that anymore, because I forget the words too often.

 

[Zeromaxx]

It depends on how often I have been writing and how much I need to write. If I haven't been writing often and need to write very little I can write perfectly, and its the exact opposite if I need to write a lot and have been writing often.

Damn near illegible, to the point that sometimes, I have no idea what I wrote when I go to read it later.

This sounds a lot like when I looked back at my class notes from school last year.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Legible, not too bad.

I can't write very quickly, though. I'm much quicker on a keyboard, my pen can never keep up with my mind.
