@AleCx04 your comment + me struggling to read my own handwriting made me curious lol
-
@SevenDeadlyBugs me too man.
I can barely read my own whenever I'm taking notes in class because of how quickly you have to write.
Gave up and type all the notes that I can -
@SevenDeadlyBugs I quit taking notes in IT/CS classes because it usually sticks with me the first time I hear it.
But with other classes, if I don't take notes then I'm fucked lol.
Not to mention, I like how easy it is to organize & find information if it's typed.
I'd often end up with several pages of typed notes after a normal class, so being able to find information quickly is nice -
@RantSomeWhere "If I gave out an award for worst handwriting, you'd win it." ~ one of my professors to me lmao
-
Elyz69656yPretty decent I'd say. Calligraphy and hand lettering used to be a hobby of mine so it kind of carried over into my handwriting.
-
Root797706yOn the poor side of okay.
I'm likewise also envious of people with beautiful handwriting. I've done my best to emulate theirs, and have seen some definite improvements in my own, but I've more or less resigned myself to always having terrible handwriting. ð -
LlamaMan8696yAdopted this grip years ago, haven't looked back since.
Edit: the change was initially to lower strain on my index finger, turned out to improve my handwriting as well. -
I would normally type everything in a classroom, far more comfortable and didn't need to watch the screen and miss what the lecturer would say.
For my private notes i take a looooong time to write anything as to ensure it's legible :P -
Always wrote in a font similar to something in a monospace family, never actually bothered to learn cursive or whatever
-
@AleCx04 my brain thinks of what to write at least twice as fast as my hand can write. I'll be writing one sentence and thinking about the next 2 sentences. That doesn't work out to well either
-
@M1sf3t my signature is good awful.
If you can forge that, then you're skilled or just as shit at cursio as me. -
iAmNaN68456yMine is pretty good. I learned to write at an independent (private) school in the UK, and penmanship was very important, among other things.
-
@M1sf3t you lucky son of a bitch.
I wish I could have someone take notes for me lmao -
2erXre524956y@Fast-Nop what language is that, hard to read for me because the language seems to be unfamiliar to me ðĪŠ
-
@2erXre5 That's German, and the handwriting is how it would have been written in the late 19th century. With two different letters for lower case 's' depending on where it appears.
-
@RantSomeWhere I think your great-grandparents would have been able to read that, but that fell by the wayside in 1941.
-
@RantSomeWhere What an incidence - the main Russian phrase I know is "stoj! ruki vjerch!". Learnt during the Cold War, just in case.

kaleph16yCursive writing: as bad as it was 10 years ago
Print writing: pretty much the only thing I still use from my architect era -
@PrivateGER with the fast example: why do you write in block letters? Is that really faster than continuous cursive writing? Or maybe that art is already lost and I'm just old enough to remember it.
-
@Fast-Nop cursive definitely seems to be dying.
Literally the only thing I know is my signature, but it's shitty and not even accurate -
@Stuxnet shit I even refuse ball pens. Even for meeting notes, I instead use a fountain pen with a slightly calligraphic nib because it supports the different stroke directions nicely.
-
@Fast-Nop in the netherlands cursive is how you write in primary school. But in secondary school teachers force you to write block letters.
My handwriting uses both inconsistently. -
@Fast-Nop I find cursive even more annoying to write than block letters.
Also, I can't read it at all. ^^ -
depends on how fast i have to write and how much patience i have, but i was forced to improve it because no one could read it, including me
Aight question time for y'all. Everyone pls answer lol
How's ya hand writing? Good or bad? lol
question
