My handwriting was so bad I had to have lessons when I was 11/12. Now it's crudely formed but I think legible. However handwriting is a slow process and my hand can ache/get stiff after a short while. It's hard to write more quickly and still legibly.

Mine is really bad. Like spiders dancing across the page.

Someone asked me if I was doing short hand yesterday because my notes were so illegible.

By high school I had abandoned cursive, in favor of comic-book block lettering and still use that, which is fairly neat. I can't even remember how to form some of the cursive letters anymore. When I scribble notes quickly, it becomes a weird hybrid of the two, that resembles an EEG readout.

Always a vexed question in school. Quite a difficult task keeping it legible .and. getting all the ideas down on paper.

Now, it is a secure means of encryption. I have difficulty reading it. I type anything someone else has to read.

Pretty lousy, yet mostly legible.

We used to call writing cursive "writing in script." If I write cursive, it's unreadable.

it can be really good if i try really hard but that takes a long time and i usually can't be bothered. i can read most everything i've written even though it looks like an alien language to other people.
i posted a thread with a picture of some notes i took some time ago because i was wondering the same question.
ah yes i found it.

Horrific. I can't read it and I doubt anyone can read it. For me to write readably it's an lot of effort, so I tend to write upside most if the time as it's much less effort and is readable.

This is copying so better than writing off the top of my head, it's still pretty bad though.

Rubbish. It's cursive all over the place.

When I was younger I couldn't read my own handwriting. :lol:
Anyway, my handwriting is pretty good from what others have told me. I smile every time they tell me that because I practiced so much to get to where my writing is now. :)
