Technology killing handwriting

That's funny. In third grade Sister Francis constantly got on me about my "chicken scratch" handwriting. It's just not something I cared about, though I always loved writing. My mom has beautiful handwriting because my grandpa made her practice and practice.

Funny thing: we were going through an audit about a year ago. The auditor was looking at files I wrote in when I had a double compound fracture of my right arm, so I was writing everything left-handed. She wondered when we had hired a 6 year old!

I say God bless computers. My handwriting sucked from the very beginning and hasn't gotten any better. In fact it has gotten worse. I have to write things in block letters because I can't read my cursive later on.

My typing, however, is pretty good.

lol that's funny Shawnee Did you tell her to kiss your 6 yr old writing ass? (maybe that's why I ALWAYS get in trouble for my attitude?)
I write with my left hand when i'm bored at work or in class doodling...i always try and get myself to be ambi or something, and then i get annoyed because it takes so long to write anything with my left hand. It's fun to write with your non dominant hand though...it's always good for a laugh.

Welcome to the Cellar, Zombie.
I do the capitals only printing , rather than cursive, also. Otherwise it's garbage.

Alas, I was born too early, and I had to write in cursive during school. I must've resisted it fiercely, because I really never learned to write cursive. In the fifth grade, it would take me hours to write a small page in cursive, and I've always been much happier writing in italic

I was never good at the "I" in cursive either --- well, I could do an I in cursive, but I always tried to connect it to the next letter and couldn't.

PS: Undertoad, your handwriting is unreal! Although that isn't cursive (mostly), it is incredibly neat.

I learned the cursive, but abandoned it after a year because my own style was already faster and more fun to me.

I will mix my cursive with some printed letters, but I absolutely cannot STAND to see words written in lowercase and sprinkled with uppercase letters here and there!

We don't know how to churn butter or make rope anymore either. (well I do, but I'm a freak)

I print. Like a seven year old. But you can read it, at least.

[Happy Monkey]

I write my lowercase a's like a print font, with that little hook on top.

My writing always throws people for a loop. I actually used to have horrible handwriting until 6th grade. I've written the same way since then with a few changes here and there...19 years now. It looks like a girl's, but it's always legible...and it's me.
