mine is horrible and i'm really embarrassed by it. i had to write a note to my co teacher just now and looked at my note and felt disgusted with myself. i literally write like an 8 year old. it's even more embarrassing when i have to fill out legal documents. even when i'm trying to write neatly, it looks like crap. my students hand writing is 100 times better than mine. hows yours?

For the blackboard or notes to my coteacher, it's good. I reserve my chicken scratch shorthand for my notebook, so that my coteacher can't read what I write

I frequently have to decipher what I've written. That's pretty much how terrible my handwriting is.

Pretty bad but I think readable. I sometimes deliberately write in terrible cursive on the board to get kids more adjusted to a native writing style. Something I've been doing with Korean.

I'd like to teach cursive writing, actually but no time... What I do works though, they understand my weird 7's and F's and G's etc.

i teach cursive in one class period (middle school). it's a good one-shot lesson, kids enjoy it. you'll get notes and letters the next day.

I write in all caps, don't know why, just a habit. I've been told that my handwriting should be made into a computer font. I've also been told that my handwriting looks like a serial killers.

i used to be into analyzing hand writing. pretty interesting stuff. i could tell you if your handwriting looks like a serial killers. does it lean to the left?

I have hand writing like a doctor. If you get what I mean

Pretty good, actually. My brother has cursive handwriting like calligraphy which looks damn fine, I must say.

That's a weird coincidence, op. I decided just yesterday to start a project documenting my handwriting as I experiment with ways to improve it and hopefully end up with something a bit more powerful than the weak script I have now. Today is day one.

cool. you should look into handwriting analysis. i bought the idiots guide to handwriting analysis. it says that handwriting shouldn't be called handwriting, instead it should be called brain writing because your handwriting is a subconscious thing. if you notice, your handwriting probably looks different depending on the mood.

I devised my own handwriting style way back in my schooldays. Essentially, I use printed letters for easy legibility but with a few unobtrusive cursive touches for quickness. Bold, functional, & looks pretty cool on a page or a chalkboard.

I'd guess with a bit of determination & practice most people could reprogram their writing hand, if they wanted to.
