Are you consistent in your handwriting?

Post Reply New Topic

The only consistency in my handwriting is that it is consistently terrible. I sometimes write small A's as just smaller versions of the capital A. Other times I write them like a. I manage to unconsciously switch sizes - sometimes mid-sentence. I have trouble cashing checks at times - because I can't seem to even write my signature the same way twice.

I know this. It's like having to forge your own signature to satisfy the parameters of the situation.

Actually I just noticed while taking some notes during a phone call, that I wrote entirely in lower case.

I'LL WRITE LIKE THIS IF I DON'T PAY ATTENTION.

My hand writing is absolutely terrible. Very inconsistent. I can't spell, I can't even write along a straight line and it looks like a 5 year old's handwriting.

Oh my god, I know a guy who writes exactly like this. Well online at any rate; I don't know what his handwriting is like. He raises almost every red flag going for being on the spectrum as well. I obviously cannot diagnose him myself, but put it this way: I wouldn't be remotely surprised if he went for an autism assessment and got a diagnosis.

My own handwriting is reasonably consistent. I've been told I have neat handwriting, but it's quite an effort for me to write neatly. Recently had to do a 20-minute writing exercise for my psychologist. She was insistent I shouldn't think about correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc., but just to write whatever came into my head. Well I'm too much of a grammar nazi to let the grammar go to pot. But I didn't bother trying to write neatly and that felt a bit more freeing, actually.

It is coherent, but it doesn't guarantee that it is neat.

Yes it's consistent. It literally looks like a 5 year old wrote it though so I try to minimize my writing. I stick to typing. I can easily get 85-90 words per minute... 100 on a good day.

My handwriting is so awful that, after years of trying with special pens and the like, my teachers (in grade ten) told me to print everything going forward (including exams). My printing looks like hen scratch but at least it's somewhat legible. The only thing I've written for decades has been my signature.

Not entirely relevant, but I saw THIS and thought of this post. It's pretty cool actually.

^cool find
I fo have a hard time with lower case and caps when i write,it seems to be random letters within the words ot that some letters are easier to write that way(either caps or lower case)
My hand writing is pretty bad and the style can change through out a text like many people were writing,and most barely legible.it will depend on stress and if im taking it easy or trying to hurry things.

my handwriting has always been a mess capital and lowercase are the same thing to me haha

It depends. I can write for shorter periods of time, but if I'm writing for a long time... it does become rather messy. The reason is because my hand will start to ache. My handwriting is usually readable though too. Since I have problems with my wrist aching, I have become accustomed to using my iPad to type it my expression and stories.

This is me too. Even my signature changes from each time to the next. I was at the welfare office renewing my application & I had to sign about 4 or 5 pages of stuff within a minute or so, and no 2 of my signatures matched!

Sadly this is me when I write to my Grandma. First paragraph, I think 'this isn't too bad, she'll be able to read this', by the end it looks like I'm writing on a wobbly table when I'm drunk during an earthquake! I've started typing out her letters even though it's not as personal, just so she can read it!

Here is a sample of mine.
