It looks really neat and legible to me. You should see mine!

What the hell is wrong with your writing?
It's legible, neat and evenly sized.

If you saw my husband's writing then that would be like a child's.

Really? Thanks! That’s a boost for me - ice going to have to write on a flip chart next week and I’m very conscious about it!

There's nothing wrong with your writing?! 2 't's is a spelling error, not a handwriting problem. Yohr handwriting is neat and legible. What on earth do you think is wrong with it?

Perfectly legible. I struggle to decipher my own handwriting at times.

I think that is very neat. Mine looks like a sick spider vomited ink and then dragged itself around the page looking for help.

Christ you should see some of the writing I have to decipher at work (higher education). Your writing is very nice and neat!

Your writing looks fine to me. You should see my brothers. He's in the wrong profession. He should have been a doctor!

Better than my writing - and I can't write in a straight line at all. But it wouldn't worry me.

That looks fine to me.

I don't have great handwriting, though it is legible. These days so much is typed on the computer and just needs a signature, so it matters much less than it used to.

I can type much better and faster than I can write.

It looks fine to me - if you’re unsure blutack some paper to a wall and practice writing vertically (it’s slightly different than writing ‘flat’)

Well i still print because I never got the hang of cursive! Oh and your writing is a million times more legible than my Dh's - who is a Doctor!

Phew! Thanks all - and some wall writing practice is a great idea

Your writing doesn't stand out as bad at all. Looks quite average to me

Grand by my standards! My DPs writing looks like a spider has been tap dancing in ink- yours is lovely.

Your handwriting is fine! There's really nothing wrong with it. My husbands is awful, although it's better than his mums, she writes like a small child who is just starting to learn.

It's better than mine and I used to teach nine year olds! It's definitely far better than my 13 year old's, and most adult I know tbh. People hand wrote so little these days even those who used to be able to write nicely can't so much now.

Your hand writing in very nice. I was almost excited to find someone with worst handwriting than me but alas my search goes on.

There isn't a single pen in this house but I think this will do! Grin
