couple, us we him her.

What's yours like??

Mrs (jools) has impeccable handwriting extremely neat and zero spelling mistakes,but akin to a teen-agers large letters not joined up and all the letters are exactly the same size .

Mine is by contrast completely the opposite.

As a dyslexic I hate writing mine starts off ok for the first few words then ends up an ineligible mess, looks like someone has tied a pen to a mouse and it's run around the page leaving mark's.

So what about you, how's yours???

With texting and the like the actual action of the "written word" seems to be dying out.

Like a psychopath, sometimes it leans left, sometimes it leans right. Sometimes it’s legible other times it’s not.

Mine isn't consistent either. Weird.

Dyslexic/dyspraxic so i basically never write anything, no point no one can read it especially me. It’s a nightmare if I ever have to Make notes on anything. I’m fine with typing but often get words so wrong that autocorrect basically throws it’s hands up and gives in

Very neat.

Even the people at the post office comment on it when I send out parcels.

I try and get my writing to look completely uniform with a marker pen, like it's printed almost.

I'm ocd like that..

Pretty messy. My friend has beautiful handwriting, but it's so stylised, that it's hard to read

When I was a boy my mum was obsessed with me having neat handwriting to the point where she made me have handwriting lessons I would sit with this guy for hours writing pages and pages,all joined up with a fountain pen.

Yet even after all that my handwriting is still awful a mixture of joined up and block capitals, upper case lower case.

That's perfectly fine.

It's the ones with consistently neat handwriting who will go all American Beauty on you one day.

Like every human being my writing depends on my mood, emotion, timing, place .......

People have different styles to suit the task in hand , believe me.

I used to be obsessed with calligraphy when I was young and always wrote with a fountain pen. My writing is quite ‘extra’

Like someone else said, I hardly need to write anymore (paper free in work etc) so it feels weird now

I always remember watching a crime documentary where they analysed some mental cases hand writing and everything they pointed out seemed very similar to mine

Mines the same I’m especially bad when writing on a card, even though I know what I’m going to write and how to spell it my hand throws in a bonus capital mid word or puts letters the wrong way round just to spite me. It’s almost as if my hand isn’t directly controlled by my brain and there is some negotiation with a third party to ask for coordination

I used to have beautiful handwriting but computers came along and lack of practice means it's now legible and neat but nothing to write home about.

I was very interested in calligraphy and have some gorgeous pens and books on the subject.

I was doing a lot of writing songs by hand and it wasn't too bad but now I hardly ever write anything by hand and I dread having to write a birthday card because it looks like a 8 year old has done it

It was really good when I was younger and still do cursive writing from learning at school. But I genuinely can't remember the last time I wrote something down

Cursive. I still write about 3 letters on average a month, but that’s just something I enjoy.

Mine is a mixture of cursive and non-cursive.

Providing I don't rush my writing is pretty neat and easily readable.

Mine is Terrible - I'm left handed and always struggled with writing at school especially when being forced to use fountain pens resulted in long smears across the page

It's readable now but nothing much more than that

Mine ranges from quite nice to illegible depending on how much of a rush I’m in

I must admit my handwriting is one of my greatest shames, it's erratic, mostly illegible and full of mistakes...

My father on the hand has beautiful handwriting, bordering on calligraphy.

I get the feeling neat handwriting was enforced much more when he was growing up compared to when I was.

I've never liked my hand writing. It changes constantly and is averagely legible. I actually get hand writing envy sometimes when I see other people's lovely penmanship.

I try to have neat handwriting but not all ways successfully

I'm Dyslexic too which makes spelling the simplest words a challenge

your dad is probably younger than me but we were taught handwriting at school as an individual lesson. In fact when I moved to a school that took pupils from all over the county it was possible to tell which primary school we'd attended by our handwriting

He's just turned 60.

That's quite interesting. We had literacy when I was at school. I just feel standards of acceptable handwriting were much higher in the 60s/70s

He went to many different schools as a child so probably got quite a broad influence on his handwriting

I don't know if standards are different because I rarely see anything handwritten nowadays.

I used to be very proud of my handwriting but after studying for my masters and writing essay after essay, it’s now more akin to a spider crawling across a page

I don't really write much and tend to jot notes down all in upper case. The only time is use cursive is for my signature and in exams, and then it ends up shockingly messy as my wrist is agony after page 1.

It's similar to my mother and grandmother. Lot's of 'swirls' to the letter f for example.
