Handwriting

[LucyDuke]

Excellent. / I wouldn't mind, though it's not a pressing need. / It's helpful that what I write is legible. / Yes. / Teachers, friends, customers. / Print, for common things. / Yes. / Depends on the function - if it's a personal letter, I'll write it. Otherwise, I'll type it. / It's generally better, excepting a cousin. / No, my school work was discriminated against because of my sarcasm. / Pens. / Fine ballpoint. Old-school dip pens for artsier functions. / Black. / Neat and utilitarian. / More rigid than loopy. / Printing is rather straight. Script is slanted. / No. / I still adjust letters occasionally, but it stabilized around 15 or so. / If it's necessary to be exceptionally neat, I'll take the time. / If necessary. / That seems negligible. / If necessary. / All it takes is time. / Not explicitly respect, but they get some brownie points. / Yes. / Females tend to be neater. / I haven't noticed. / Foreigners that take the time to practice can have beautiful hands. / My friend's mother, she's a part-time calligrapher. / Never. / Capital r. / Small t. / It may change over time, but it's consistent within a given period. Except "y" - sometimes it's round, sometimes it's sharp. It can be both in one word. / Regular spiral notebook. / That is a bit too rigid. / That usually gets sloppy. / Good chalkboard handwriting amazes me. / That can work, though it's not ideal. / I'm out of school. / If it's illegible, yes. / Yes. / Some are rather defensive, others are helpful. / That's not really enforcible, but it would be nice if they tried. / English. / History.

I guess this says it all...

 

[Azash]

I vote for that smiley to be added to CFC!

 

[Solver]

Fred, you call that horrible? I think it's somewhat bad, but nowhere near horrible, it seems perfectly legible to me. Granted, I can read what people usually consider to be unintelligible handwriting, but that one seems good to me. Wish I could upload mine to really scare the lot of you .

 

[FredLC]

Maybe I'm trying to live up to the high standards of my wife's handwriting...

Regards .

PS: Honestly, my actual handwring is a bit better than that... it's that tablets aren't particularly good to write with...

 

[Narz]

I've had a few dozen people tell me I have really cool handwriting over the years.

In terms of legibility, it's good, never had anyone say they couldn't read it.

My handwriting is way worse than that even.

It really is wrong in every way. Either too bunched up or too spread apart, no dots on the I's, my lower case "a's" tend to be open, and thus look like "u's", my "e's" when written look like cursive "l's", etc...

I should post a sample.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I think my handwriting is decent. But everyone says my handwriting sux. Everytime i go to the black(white)board everyone is: oh no! Zoomed in, my handwriting is nice see:

Spoiler :

But i always write very small and ppl have to squint to see.
I'm so proud of my handwriting.

 

[TopDog]

Crappy. People can't read my handwriting, plus I'm left-handed, so I smudge.

Ditto,

I don't trust people with neat handwriting

 

[Truronian]

I write in perfect Times New Roman.

 

[The Last Conformist]

It's no calligraphy, but quite readable if I make the effort.

My signature tends to look rather like this:
Aud-ca_ J/h________

 

[Heretic_Cata]

The only readable things in my signature are the first 2 letters CS after that - scribbling.

I guess this says it all...

I have to say, your writing is ugly even by my standards. It's readable tho. So it could be worse.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

I don't know cursive. I write small and fast. No one can read what I write.

I actually don't understand parts of what's written there. “Înfărmători conexe”?

Edit: I’m so stupid…. “Înfăşurători Convexe”.

Edit 2: My father saw that, and started reading it, and he knows everything there! For example, he knew how to read the thing at the bottom, “Algoritmul Jarvis”, while I read “Algoritmul Jnvis”. Wow, he actually knows all that stuff.

So my writing is THAT bad ?

How does your father know those things ? I don't even remember them. I passed that exam so everything i learned was erased.

Also, i should answer fifty's questions (i answered inside the quote).

Do you wish to improve it? No - How does you handwriting affect your life? Some people say : could i have a look at that paper please ? Oh God, nevermind. Or teachers say: You beter not be writing that horrible at the exam ... - Has anyone ever complimented you on your handwriting? Of course - If so, who? ME - Do you write in print or cursive? Cursive, i hate print - Do you enjoy writing with your hand? Yes - Given the choice between typing or writing, which do you choose? Writing - How does your handwriting compare to that of your relatives? My dad's and my brother's are horrible. - Do you ever feel that your school work is discriminated against because of your handwriting? Nope - Is your handwriting better with pencils or pens? pen - When handwriting with pens, do you prefer ballpoint or fine tip or something else? ballpoint - What color of pen do you think makes your handwriting look best? blue/black - How would you describe your handwriting stylistically? Is it loopy or rigid? Is it straight or slanted? Straight and rigid - Has anyone ever gotten upset with you because of your handwriting? of course - How old were you when your handwriting seemed to stop improving? From the moment i learned handwriting (5 years old) it started to decline - If you could write very neatly, but it would require 25% more writing time, would you do it? I can write neatly but it requires me to be home and be relaxed, it does take a little bit of more time. - How do you think you could improve your handwriting? Dunno - Do you respect people with good handwriting more than those with bad handwriting? It's not important - Do you ever get jealous of your peers that have better handwriting than you? nope - How do you think gender affects handwriting? Guys have uglier handwriting. - what about race? dunno - country of origin? dunno - Who has the best handwriting you've ever seen? mom,former deskmate,computational geometry and lots of other ppl who had the same perfect handwriting - Do you think that handwriting will some day be obsolete? not on my lifetime - When you are writing, what letters do you think usually come out the best looking? the a; few people can identify a's in my senteces tho. - Which ones come out the worst looking? the s - Does each letter always look the same or are there large variations in how you write a given letter? vary - What sort of surface do you find your handwriting is best? whatever - How are your teachers' handwriting? whatever - Does bad teacher handwriting inhibit your ability to learn ever? no - Do you think teachers should be forced to have decent handwriting? no - What subject's teachers do you usually find have the best handwriting? NOT literature, but i didn't find a pattern - The worst? i didn't find a pattern

Well, my father is some kind of superman, he knows physics, mathematics and computer science perfectly, also literature, French language, and he writes poetry (used to, when he was a little younger).

Note that there's no 'u' or 'c' in my name.

 

[Bast]

I've been told I have very feminine, cursive writing.

 

[Ansar]

Depends on which Language I am writing in:

Latin Alphabet: Decent but legible
Hiragana & Katakana: Crappy but readable
Kanji: Crappy but readable

So you can't write in English or something?

Mine's great (according to many people, it's the nicest handwriting they've ever seen and my teachers say it's very nice to read).
