Rats! I was all set to post a sample of my scrawl, when I realized that my camera is still in the shop. It was supposed to be ready about 5 weeks ago!

Well I'm DEFINITELY a member of the bad handwriting club! My husband reminds me all the time! Come to think of it, everyone in my family agrees that my handwriting is almost the worst.....my dad is worse though! I can hardly read his!

Mireyna, you have lovely handwriting!!!

Way back before CAD I was trained as a draftsman on the old fashioned drafting board. We were forced to practice our "lettering" and as such I can no longer write a legible sentence in cursive. My printing was always pretty neat but even now with nearly 20 years of computers/CAD it's gotten much worse.

I don't use cursive writing for anything...I print everything. I have to write very quickly so it is pretty legible.

I can actually write using cursive, but I would have to write very slowly. I doubt my husband would recognize my cursive writing.

The only thing worse than my writing is my spelling. You can blame spellcheck for that I think.

I now can only seem to write in capital letters - and being left handed - I've no chance of writing with any form of ink pen unless I want it smudging all over my hand as I write above with my hand cocked down (typical for most left-handers) !!

I've never seen Al's handwriting. He prints everything in upper case letters. He says his handwriting is so bad even HE can't read it!

Mine is so bad that until I learned to type everyone assumed I was SLOW. Of course now that I can type it is confirmed. Half the time I can't read my own writing when I jot down my messages from my voice mail.
