How good is your handwriting?

[AB Editor]

Mine varies a worrying degree.

I found this mesmerising:



Anyone here particularly proud of their handwriting?

Mine is lousy - I hate it.

i work at BT, and a number of ly colleagues are ex-Drawing Office staff and all had to learn to write and print really well - i envy them so much.

I handwrite in capitals, and even that can be hard to read!

I would really love to write nicely - I may get some lessons when i retire - never too late!

[emmie]

that's wonderful, however i cannot write to save my life, arthritis, and it's getting much worse.

[piggynose]

i write just like a doctor.
lol

[ladybirder]

Mine's lovely:-)

mine is good, I mostly write with an ink pen.

[sara3]

*fountain pen, whatever!

Mine is terrible, every time I write on a birthday/christmas card I tend to feel that I've just ruined the card.

I think my printed handwriting is quite messy. My joint up writing is terrible and can only be read by me I think... and even then...

[steg]

mine is like a 10 year olds, in fact i was probably 10 last time i wrote something

"Every time I write on a birthday/christmas card I tend to feel that I've just ruined the card."

I know that feeling!

[cazzz1975]

I write in the style of people from the 1900's

I dont know why I do this but I do.

I like to think I write a good hand .We were taught to write properly at school.
I write lots of letters so I've never really lost the habit of handwriting .
For handwritten letters I always use a fountain pen .

My handwriting was excellent until I learned shorthand. Once you can do shorthand at 120 wpm it really does make you very impatient with writing longhand - I hate letterwriting by hand - I just don't do it. In fact I don't write letters any more. I only telephone or email.

My writing is either a hit or a miss. It's good when I try hard but I can't be bothered most of the time lol. I'm a slow writer too. I have a reason though.. I only started writing with my left hand about 5 years ago. I lost all strength in my right hand so decided to see if I could use my left instead and it worked!

[LoftyLottie]

My writing is slopes forward and was also very like people wrote in the 1900's except it now it is just forward sloping slapdash and horrible.

[jackthehat]

Mine is good in whichever style I choose......as per Andy's comments about Drawing Offices.

Although now I work with computers there is precious little scope for 'flair' on any plans.........:o(

[LoftyLottie]

I remember having caligraphy lessons at school. I loved it.

[cathfromsaron]

clear but not beautiful! my friend has copper plate and i envy her! xx

[ChuckFickens]

Mines virtually illegible even to me sometimes, luckily due to the nature of my job I have to write very little.

I'm pretty quick and accurate at typing though.

[ummmm]

Mines very good....
