How bad is your handwriting become since the dawn of computer age?

My 3 year old writes better than I do.

Lightnix · 2 Aug 2011 at 19:24

Mine has always been pretty bad. It varies from 'legible' to 'apparently just a doodle of barbed wire'.

jaybrock · 2 Aug 2011 at 19:24

Mine's horrible. Barely remember how to work a pen lol.

Mine chances a huge amount depending on how I feel, what I'm writing, and what pen I'm using.

Mine's gotten a little better; I left school writing like a raving spastic!

with a normal biro it's ok, with a thin felt type pen (not coloured felt tips) it's terrible
trying to sign one of those parcel delivery tablets is a joke

i can't even read what i wrote on the paper.. its that bad.. :/ could be the reason that i broke my fingers a few years ago and couldn't write/use my hard for nearly 2 months..

My handwriting is awesome. I don't do joined up though, because if I do, then it looks terrible

I should dig out my old year three handwriting books, my handwriting was perfect back then but now it's just a mess. I actually prefer to have sloppy handwriting and good words per minute, only problem is my brain can't keep up

It isn't a joke. It's absolutely and completely impossible to sign one of those. I've given up and when presented with one just try to draw the best jagged mountain range I can within the space.

No one can read my hand writing but me

Gerard · 2 Aug 2011 at 19:45

Never had good Handwriting

Biohazard · 2 Aug 2011 at 19:47

I generally scribble, elegantly. Neat if I have too.

If I've not written for a while the first minute or so feels odd, and hand gets tired quicker but thats about it.

On the same line of thought....

I'm so lazy, I turned my handwriting into a font. So those "hand written" letters are a 2 minute thing!

Wow, didn't know you could do that

Bumhug · 2 Aug 2011 at 20:11

Mine was never great, now even i cant read what I have written. So I just bought a tablet and now make any notes on that

phil-k · 2 Aug 2011 at 20:11

my writings terrible, I'm sure I should have benn a doctor, lol, thank heavens for emails

Lunatic Dreyfus · 2 Aug 2011 at 20:13

I was never great with handwriting, but even in this technological age I still keep my hand in, so to speak. Just call me old skool.

Royal Mail ones are a joke. I manage to crack a smile when I hear the same "oh I can't write on these things" for the umpteenth time.

The ones DHL or UPS use are well nice. It's like a felt tip pen. :eek:

All of them are terrible, but the RM ones definitely are the worst. I'm actually happy when I'm handed an invoice for signing and it comes on a clipboard and I'm handed a bic biro.

Mine's pretty good if I bother putting effort in. Most the times it's just cba handwriting
