how legible is your handwriting?

Here are some samples of my handwritings, judge it yourself.

In order to save bandwidth, I'll just post the special cover note I've written for the Wrongplanet, click the picture for flickr to view others.

I actaully have really pretty handwriting although it used to be VERY sloppy.

Here's mine, I tried to write readable:

JD Salinger. Catcher in the Rye. I love that part of it.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes, or should I? That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life. Everybody'd think I was just a poor deaf mute ba***** and they'd leave me alone...

That is catcher in the rye? I've read that book a dozen times , you'd think I'd recognize it.

Yep. Its one of my favourite books of all time.

Yeah well I could read every single handwriting sample that was posted. Every single one was legible.

I can't read my own handwriting at times (especially when Im taking my own notes). So mine is the worst!

I type my notes, now, btw.

I think I forgot how to write cursive.

As a cartoonist I developed a very neat, small capitals script. I once wrote a story that was told through the medium of someone typing the dialogue and narration on a typewriter, and so I wrote in what I thought looked like Courier, but actually was just a printing style with both upper and lower case letters (and I never could decide which style of "g" they wrote).

Mavis Crow, pictured above comes from "Cloud Cuckoo Land", my UK political soap opera - she was my alter-ego at first but then I started putting my human self into them, and I both killed her off and resurrected her at the request of my boyfriend who always used to look forward to reading about her next adventures in the messed-up world of British politics...

I actually wrote school essays in this script for a while but was told off for doing it and also told that on the exam I'd have to write in proper joined up (I was at A-level, our UK school leaving exams). I found it quicker to write in caps and had to train myself by copying newspaper articles into a scrapbook. (I did this primarily because they were gossip about politics, but after sticking in the actual articles I found it much easier to copy them out in longhand, to train my hand for the exams and to keep a record of them without cutting up the school newspapers!)

As for joined-up...I'd say it was pretty good, though I suppose I have always been a bit of a chameleon, and always changing my styles when I was at school (once half-way through an essay which we were supposed to be putting up for parents' evening!! !!). This is my adult script, I tend to put flourishes on script capitals, particularly "N" and "L".

Joined-up/cursive script

My handwriting just seems to be getting worse and worse. I didn't use to have problems with handwriting. But now I can never find a comfortable position with my pen because I grip it so hard. I just can't seem to write smoothely anymore.

This is a page of my psych notes (on our Addictions section). Take into account that I had to write a tad faster than I normally would, just to keep up with the lecture.

Sophist, I think your handwriting is good. Mine is terribly insonsistent. Not only that, my "r" "v" "n" all look the same at times. 1 line is not enough space for decently written letters.
