CFC Handwriting Thread (from Random Rants ΠΑ)

[TheMeInTeam]

Mostly legible writing here, wish everything I tried to read was at least that good. Back when I was looking at application forms ~10 years ago sometimes it was impossible. What was on the paper was not actually English. 80% of words had lines drawn in a way that didn't form letters of the English language. I'd have had an easier time reading well-written Spanish or even Portuguese, at least those use letters I can mostly identify.

I'm jealous Lemon.

Cool thread Arakhor!

I'm being incompetent with my phone. Might have the patience later to brutalize your eyes with illegibility. Just realized how much I have typed in the last decade and written so little.

 

[Arakhor]

Thanks, Farm Boy.

Lemon's writing is very pretty but I found it difficult to read. This is more on me than on the writing, I think, as I find all cursive a bit difficult to parse even though I know all the symbols.

 

[AdamCrock]

I think mine is fairly legible

[Synobun]

You have a really nice capital R.

 

[AdamCrock]

Thanks ! My handwriting only improved since middle school, in the basic school it was absolutely horrible ! Maybe I can find that really old notes to show You the true horror

I wrote in Swedish, since I need to think and write slowly to get English grammar somewhat acceptable. But what I wrote was something like:

"What a fun idea for a thread! I think my handwriting can vary greatly, depending on how stressed I'm when I write and such.

Sometimes it looks like this too which is kind of fun. It probably depends on how I'm holding the pen aswell."

Norse languages are cool !

I think a lot of younger people have trouble with cursive these days. My handwriting has become a bit messy over the years as I tend to write rather quickly to take notes. A friend of mine says that my handwriting looks like "backwards Arabic."

I will admit to there being occasions where I look back on something I wrote a month ago and think "WTH is that?".

You're in the medical profession, so at least you can claim that you're living down to the stereotype.

I'm in secretarial, so perhaps not representative, but I thought her writing was basically typewriter legible.

That is so true ! Lemon You should write prescriptions only in illegible scribbles , otherwise pharmacy clerks might get suspicious

 

[Lemon Merchant]

I concur. I wish my R's were as good as that.

It's not as much of a stereotype as you might think.

You're the first person to ever say that. Thank you.

I'm not allowed to write prescriptions yet. I have to complete my license as a Nurse Practitioner to do that, I just haven't had the time to write the tests.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Once, my doctor gave me a prescription that was just a squiggle. The pharmacist was able to fill it anyways.

@MaryKB your new avatar is confusing when next to @Lemon Merchant even though yours is color and hers is b&w.

lemon's handwriting is incredibly gorgeous. I made very audible sounds of appreciation while looking at it. mine is absoutely horrendous, it's like a caricature of bad handwritings. it's boastful, careless and offensive to the eye. it doesn't matter what I write, it ends up looking vulgar and/or done by an insane person. my handwriting is only good for writing stuff that is Bukowski level of deranged. I might post it later.

lemon's handwriting is incredibly gorgeous.

I really like the look of Lemon's writing as well -- and I thought it was quite readable, too:

Everyday People
Everyday shame
Everyday promise
shot down in flames
Everyday sunrise
Another everyday story
Rise from the ashes
A blaze of everyday glory

Hi CFC!

NAT

(But now I really have to ask: Was that poem/lyric your own composition? And is 'NAT' your initials, or your name in caps?)

Here's mine. My cursive used to be much better, but I hand-write relatively little these days, and mostly just notes (instructions to the typesetters, shopping-lists -- that kind of thing), which I print for legibility:

 

[AdamCrock]

I very much like Your handwriting @tjs282 Not only it is great too look at , it is legible as well
