Handwriting

[Rambuchan]

 

[Turner]

If I write more than a few sentances out, my hands cramp.

Typing is for me.

I wish i had a scanner to reply adequately . >_<
Yeah i still handwrite letters, email just doesn't cut it when i want to get something personal across. Also a pencil is much cheaper and easier to carry/operate than a laptop, so notes get handwritten as well.

 

[Meleager]

I type quicker, neater, more expersively (cause I can fiddle with words), and spell better when using a computer. If i want to make it personal I will put it in curley font.

Last year I took a history of science course(we have to take one non-engineering course) and I truly suffered during the exam. I had to spend a minute to relax my hand after every 5 minutes of writing. I also kept making mistakes and writing the wrong letters(that is, I knew they were wrong but my hand automatically written them before I could tell it to stop ).

 

[Dann]

I still scribble notes and reminders to myself by hand. My handwriting, however is so bad no one else can read it.

For correspondence with others I'm dependent on the computer/printer combo. Especially since I can't write Chinese without a computer's Pinyin input system.

What is the art of reading people's personalities through their handwriting called again? Anyone know about this?

Last time I tried handwriting something...well long story short, I am no longer allowed in Jack's Pet shop.

Graphology. I regard it as a pseudoscience like phrenology, but some think it has something to it - according to this article in Psychology Today. I would be especially wary of it being used as evidence in court.

I wish I had better penmanship, though.

This may not interest anyone else, but Rambuchan's handwriting is very much like mine - and this is first time I have ever seen a similarity between my writing and somebody else's.

Sadly, I do not have a scanner so I cannot demonstrate.. I wrote down the same sentences, held it up the monitor, and it actually looks like it was written by the same person!

Although, having said that, mine is even scruffier

 

[Tomoyo]

I don't like my handwriting because it slants differently every other word or so.

I do write handwritten letters and I take notes in school with a pen/pencil.

Graphology.


I still use handwriting to take notes and to organize thinking, but it's been some time since I sent a letter via snail-mail. Back in highschool I was more or less compelled to fill 4-5 A4 pages during Literature classes so my handwriting has adapted to speed rather than readability or calligraphy.

 

[Kayak]

As I have gotten older my penmanship has deteriorated to the point that if I want anyone else to read it I must print it out. Cursive is illegible (even to me after some period of time). Do you know how hard it is to take notes quickly that way? I can't type worth a damn either!

 

[Milan's Warrior]

I use handwriting a lot for my own notes everyday. I still use loopy cursive entirely, except for capital H.
I am concerned though that my handwriting is deteriorating even for me to read.
If anywone knows of a good book on improving loopy cursive I would be grateful.
I bought "Italic Letters" but it tries to teach you a completely new handwriting so I discarded it. I want something to improve what I know already. I don't want to change the whole thing

OK, since we all got the word graphology, can anyone tell us what the "y" and "g" tails mean? I'm sure there is something really dark and evil we can find out about Ram!

It may come as a shock to you, but that is not really Rambuchan's handwriting. The opening post was a ploy by the British government to confirm my true identity... and I walked right into it

* quickly packs and moves next door *

I can confirm that it is not really Rambuchan's writing, because reversed tails mean the writer has an exceedingly mature personality and is never paranoid. Only I fit that description!

Darn.. I just got ink on my fingers. Now people are going to think I am a school child

My calligraphy (using a brush) is better than my normal ball-point pen writing. But that's because it's a real slow and dedicated process, and not something I do on the fly while talking on a phone.

 

[Sparta]

My handwriting is of the utilitarian all-caps style, and limited to the length of post-it notes these days. Typing is vastly more efficient for me.

Small capitals are people who are modest in nature.
They concentrate on facts, not ideas.
