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

QuirkyQuark · 09/03/2019 16:19

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.

NorthernBirdAtHeart · 09/03/2019 16:19

It’s really not that bad!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 09/03/2019 16:19

Nah, that's not bad.

Bouncebacker · 09/03/2019 16:20

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?

ABC1234DEF · 09/03/2019 16:20

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

Notquiteagandt · 09/03/2019 16:20

I write like a child. I cant do cursive writingm cant say its held me back or effected my life in anyway shape or form.

CircleofWillis · 09/03/2019 16:21

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

Theunreasonableone · 09/03/2019 16:21

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

SrSteveOskowski · 09/03/2019 16:23

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

Bagpuss5 · 09/03/2019 16:23

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

Topseyt · 09/03/2019 16:24

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.

scrappydappydoo · 09/03/2019 16:25

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’)

missyB1 · 09/03/2019 16:27

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!

Bouncebacker · 09/03/2019 16:27

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

I think your handwriting is very beautiful, I wish mine was like that!!

angelikacpickles · 09/03/2019 16:31

Looks absolutely fine to me.

FluffySlipperSocks · 09/03/2019 16:34

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

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 09/03/2019 16:35

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

HarrysOwl · 09/03/2019 16:40

Your handwriting is lovely. Smile

AintNobodyHereButUsReindeer · 09/03/2019 16:41

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.

Roomba · 09/03/2019 16:42

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.

pink412 · 09/03/2019 16:42

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

paisho · 09/03/2019 16:45

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