How's your penmanship? Post your handwriting!

[LaraMN]

I have horrible handwriting.
I CAN write nicely, I just don't have the patience to do so, beyond a paragraph or so.

Handwriting was the only subject I failed in elementary school. I have progressed little since then.

:P

[NewWaveChick1981]

1. OMG....you and my sister have the same handwriting!

:scared: You must be her evil twin....:rofl: :P

Seriously, though, you have nice handwriting and it looks EXACTLY like Sis' writing. :D

Edited to add: And her name is scarily close to yours too....

[LaraMN]

3. I wrote fast-ish to accurately represent my typically writing.

I'm glad to know I have a penmanship doppleganger...
:rofl:

[mainegreen]

2. Clearly the MN doesn't stand for best grammar.

'Most neatest' indeed!


:P

[LaraMN]

4. It was either that or

"Monumentally Nerd."

:P

[anarch]

5. I'm afraid I don't have an example handy,

so this iconic visual representation will have to suffice:

[billyskank]

6. Here's mine.

[LaraMN]

7. I like yours!

It looks like girl's writing.

:rofl:

[Dora]

8. You have the handwriting of a literary genius.

And very good spelling, too.

[billyskank]

14. Thank you.

Though I cannot claim credit for the words. :)

[Sanity Claws]

11. Nice handwriting

It has almost no slant. Graphologists claim that means that you keep your emotions under wraps; you're more of a mind over heart type. Is that accurate?

[billyskank]

13. In person, yes.

In the lounge, not so much. ;)

[skygazer]

9. Pretty rotten - I print better but not much

[billyskank]

10. Hi, my name is skygazer

and if you can actually read this, I'll be surprised.

[skygazer]

12. Well, I'm surprised

:wow:

:rofl:

[Sanity Claws]

32. I can read it

probably because it's kind of like my own. I write "and" exactly like you.

[Callalily]

15. Here's mine!

Read it and weep! :rofl:

[LaraMN]

16. It's still better than my husband's. word.

:scared:

[Callalily]

21. And you have to realize,

I was really trying hard here. My day-to-day handwriting is really bad, if you can believe that! :)

[skygazer]

17. Pretty bad but not the worst ever

That would be my grandmother - I wish I had a sample. For some reason, I'm the only one in the family who could decipher her writing so I always had to read her letters out loud.

It doesn't even resemble writing of any sort - more arbitrary lines and dashes. Like code.

I can read yours. :D

[Callalily]

20. I had a boss whose

handwriting was so bad, he even had a hard time reading it. Somehow I could decipher it though.

[redqueen]

22. I worked with a guy like that... people thought me must've written with his foot.

:D

I was the only person in the office who could read it besides him.

[skygazer]

23. I sometimes have trouble reading my notes for school

Which is why I come home and type them up. :rofl:

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Oh that requires far more technology and time investment than my children...

are going to allow me right now. Suffice it to say that my handwriting waffles between gloriously beautiful and artistically astounding to what the fuck is this ink doing on this paper?

[Bunny]

19. For bad handwriting, I claim victory:

[johnnie]

24. Ok, this is honestly how I write..lol

I even included my signature.

[LaraMN]

27. It's a little like my husband's with the exception of the fact

that I CAN actually read what you wrote!

[johnnie]

29. Yeah, I tend to write so people can read it..lol

Although I have gone through my stacks of lyrics I have written in the past and there are a few spots where I think to myself, "what the hell?".

[MissMillie]

25. well, judge for yourself

[LaraMN]

26. It's very legible and feminine!

Not bad at all!

[ThomCat]

28. I always print eveything.

I used to have very neat printing.

Now, thanks to the wonder and glory of arthitis, my printing is becoming erratic and less legible. :(

[MysticalChicken]

30. I'd post mine, but...

A. my scanner isn't hooked up right now, and B. even if it were, my handwriting is like a doctor's who hasn't slept in three days and is on copious amounts of heroin.

[stuntcat]

31. mine's embarrassing

And sometimes I print, then it looks like a different person did it and sometimes I don't slant the same way. I don't want to know what it means :blush: I'm not psychotic, I swear.

[billyskank]

33. What's embarrassing about that?

It's very fetching.

[stuntcat]

36. tehee!!

fetching :)
I thought yours is great, I'd be proud if it was mine! :headbang:

[Pierre.Suave]

34. No writing examples handy, but...

I am going to Med School, so by default, I have bad hand writing.

[hunter]

35. I write like an impatient second grader.

I've always written that way -- my writing now looks pretty much like my first grade writing; it's just smaller. I never learned cursive, probably because it is very difficult for me to read it.

I hated the fifth grade because no matter how many hours I spent at it, I always had points taken off for my penmanship.

It's pretty obvious I've got a screw loose in that part of my brain, but I had too many teachers who thought I was just being lazy.
