my writing is really neat but its really small and some of my teachers are like why did you write so small even though its legible though you might have to look closely to be able to read it but i can read mine fine though loll :D

I really hate my handwriting. Girls and teachers say it's not as messy and bad as other boys because it's easily readable, but I think it's really aesthetic.

There is very little hand eye coordination associated with playing starcraft as far as my knowledge.

A lot of people I know are overly critical of their own handwriting. E.g. they always apologise "sorry for my bad handwriting" when in actuality it's pretty good.

i'm kind of the opposite. i consider my handwriting normal and i can read it perfectly but most people struggle to read it

I CAN write decently if I try. But a scribble is just so much faster.

If I actually try I can write really well and pretty but usually I'm in a hurry and then struggle later to decipher my own heiroglyphics.

My handwriting is terribad.. but some days it feels just right and I can read everything I write, some days it's just horseshit and when I see what I wrote a few days later I don't know what it says. >.<!

But I guess that's how it is for most people in the IT business, you just write emails all the time and no paper anymore..

Mine is absolutely horrendous. Probably the worst out of anyone I know. I can try and make it understandable if it's supposed to be understandable to others, like an exam, but if it's just homework or something it becomes a complete mess that few can decipher. I can usually read it okay myself, though.

It often depends. But its more on the atrocious end of the spectrum, especially on bad days.

Typically its better at the beginning of the semester than at the end.

Sometimes different classes employ different note-taking techniques, so that influences "neatness" in handwriting

Heres a photo of two classes.. at polarizing ends of the class spectrum too. One is a graduate-level class, one is a 100-level class that i need for my last "general education" credits.

Often times I can read them just fine, but there are times where it just gets messy.

I like how below average is actually the average. :D (Blatantly taking it out of context).
Anyways mine is atrocious, probably because I hold my pen in a very obscure way.

Very girly and very readable.

When I take care of it, it's rather nice and very very neat.

My hand writing is bi-polar. Sometimes it's very neat, other times it looks like a 1st graders handwriting.

Definitely readable, but I have a bad habit of switching between printing and handwriting without noticing. Anyone else do the same?

My handwriting is also average. No teacher at my school has really complained about it, although I think that it looks pretty bland. Then again, I constantly try to improve my handwriting, but there are limiting factors; one of which is that there isn't time to improve on it when there is so much work to do.

This poll is flawed. There cannot be more than half below average! Unless.. there's a connection between terrible handwriting and visiting Starcraft forums! :o

I think this can be explained by the fact that girls generally have better handwriting

I don't write neatly, my friends often remark it looks like a 6 year old's work

In my opinion, my handwriting is neater than a lot of the guys that I know, but definitely worse than a majority of the girls that I know. I write neater when I write smaller (perhaps less margin for error) and when I write big shit hits the fan.
