How's Your Handwriting (Pics S.V.P.)?

Post Reply New Topic

I am left handed, right footed, and left brained; it's an odd combination that makes for some odd handwriting. Some call it dysgraphia; some call it chickenscratch; I call it my hand:



Please post scans of your handwriting if you have the equipment. If not, just tell us a little story.

i voted worse, but it's actually more asthetically pleasing than neanhumain's, but definitely about a million times less legible. looks gorgeous, in other words - been described as looking like monkish script (i assume this means illuminated scripts) - but it's tiny and you cannot read it for love nor money (neither can i!).

I went with legible, barely. If I really try hard and go slow, my writing's not too bad, but otherwise it's just barely readable most of the time. I never did learn to hold a pen/pencil the correct way, so that doesn't help. My 4th math teacher told me I should make my numbers look like numbers.

I'll put it this way, I bet an aspie just like me invented the typewriter.

My writing is so bad that it doesn't look any worse (because it couldn't) when I use my non-dominate hand.

Mine's legible (except cursive), but it flucuates so much that it can be hard to read.

EDIT: OH GOD!! Even my Typo correction is a typo!! ! (points to the p above terrile)

I am left handed and my actual writing is really on a backward slant. I took calligraphy classes and improved my handwriting a lot. Unfortunately if I write script, it's back to the slant!

I'll post a pic of my hand writing later, but my handwriting is barely legible...to me. It's very pretty, but you can't actually make out any letters.

Well, that blows to hell the idea that my signature could never be forged.

Hehe, teachers always told me my handwriting is unusual. It's like a wave. I dont have a scanner atm

I took this picture a couple of months ago. This is how I hold my pen. It also has a very small handwriting sample.

I should scan in some of my notes from class, hahaha...



Oh, and I'm mostly right-handed.

Mine is a lot like Ghoststix, except worse b/c it is all bunched up together and if there are no lines on the paper, then it looks like its about to fall off a cliff

All throughout elementary school and a ungodly portion of middle school teachers had me do every concievable program under the sun to improve hand strengh and control.

Thank god for keyboards

I'm at work so I don't have a digital camera, but when I was in high school, an English teacher of mine handed back a test, smiled and said "We've had you in the English department for four years, Lionize, and we came to the conclusion in the teacher's lounge yesterday that you have the *worst* handwriting out of any human being we've ever seen." Then he grinned and gave me my test back. (I did fine, thankfully.) The rest of the class couldn't believe it and asked to see my notes and came to the conlusion that, yes indeed, I have the worst handwriting known to man.

I was actually sent to an expert of sorts in first grade to try and sort out my abysmal scratch. It didn't happen. The woman just said "his form is fine. His technique is fine. He's holding the pencil and paper correctly. But because of the speed at which he reads, he comprehends and finishes sentences before he actually finishes writing them, and it'll probably get worse as he gets older." True enough, in comparing my notes from, say, Junior year in high school to Freshman year in college, there's actually a marked decrease in legibility. On the worst days, not even I can read it, and that's trouble.

So take heart, chicken scratchers! Chances are, you're just thinking too fast for the pen to catch up with you.

My handwriting is like tom's, but more curvy and larger.If there's no lines on the paper, I go insane. Size 20 font, at least. I also started curving the bottom of my "y"s. When I write on lined paper, I prefer double spacing because of my large handwriting. That, or using two lines together like a pre-schooler. Maybe I'll take a picture with my antique webcam.

I can almost keep it within the margins.
Mind you this is wide ruled paper.
