I guess its not something many use that often these days.

Someone just remarked "oooh that's very neat handwriting" to me.

Is yours neat or something akin to a spider crawl ?

Mine is of the ‘Asthmatic ant with some heavy shopping’ variety. But I write a lot in notebooks.

I need to write really fast at work.

Almost nobody can read it.

Mine is pretty neat if I'm not in a rush. I remember using fountain pens in school though and it was such a mess as I'm left handed.

Not sure why they even had us using them in the first place tbh!

The first casualty of life behind a keyboard is your handwriting. Mine is awful now. I don't write cursively - it's illegible. I print.

I once got rejected from a very well paying job because of my hand writing. It was overseas branch of a big UK merchant bank. I went though 10 interviews and got told I basically had the job but I had to provide a handwriting sample to be sent back to London HQ to be analysed. This was the rule of the founder of the bank. Every employee above a certain level had to "pass" whatever that meant. I failed and didn't get the job.

I'm left handed which means that when creating script from left towards right the pen is pushing sharply into the page instead of gliding away from it.

Not a good start for having good handwriting.

It also means that ones speed is compromised by the increased friction with certain writing implements such as pencils or nib type pens.

Mine is an incoherent and incomprehensible scrawl, which leaves me very much ashamed. I need to take up calligraphy as a form of written self-flagellation.

I wonder why they didn't ask for your handwriting first.

We received a Christmas card last year from some new neighbours after we'd sent them one just addressed to their household, it's illegible. We have no idea what their names are because we can't read them. The opportunity to ask their names hasn't arisen this year so we're going to wait until we receive a card from them and hope we can read it

Whaley Bridge,Nr Buxton,

We were taught to write at primary school with fountain pens.The nib only allows movement in certain directions which helps to form each letter,making neat easy to read handwriting.Biros move in any direction leading to scrawl.

I developed a permanent condition in my teens which makes my hands cramp up under certain conditions, including writing by hand.

In my school days, the Parker 51 was arguably the favourite pen.

It even gave fairly good results with us left handers.

It depends.

I can write very neatly. I used to do calligraphy and hand wrote our wedding invitations and place cards.

On a day to day basis, it's not neat but usually legible.

I can write quite well when I have to, and still enjoy using a fountain pen now and again, but although I write a lot for work most of it is scribbled notes, generally standing up and trying to hold the pad in my other hand while I write...

i was told in P3 my handwriting was atrocious so i fixed it instantly. Writing is strange for me, i can write a letter or number the same way for years then see or think of a way i think looks better and change it instantly without practice.

Still sign my name the same as i did the very first time i tried it out, never once practiced.

I use many different styles of writing for various purposes and if you really studied your writing at different times you would notice that you do to.

Neat handwriting isn't a virtue. It isn't even necessary and to my mind needs no reward. Sometimes the neatest is printed by someone who writes so painstakingly slowly because writing is difficult for them. Othes write with a flourish.

The only important thing is that writing is legible and communicates a message to others.

Fuck off in scrawl means precisely the same as Fuck off in copperplate.
