My handwriting is terrible, especially when i'm writing quickly. I am also left handed which blows because everything smears so i've always hated writing and try to avoid it at all costs. If I can type instead I will do that 100% of the time. Not to mention typing is 1000% faster and always legible.

The average SC playing nerd compared to the general population, yeah.
Mine's below average. Some people say it's shit, some people say it would be readable if it were less tiny and cramped. Either way it's terrible.

People say I write like an Asian girl. I blame this on my mom. When I was in 3rd grade, my handwriting was terrible. My mom would erase all my homework and make me start over if it wasn't neat, so I forced myself to have good handwriting. It was cruel and evil at the time, but it definitely pays off now in college when I have to look back on my notes for homework, midterms, and finals.

If I need to write neatly I can - albeit slowly - but otherwise mine is only legible to myself, both in terms of the handwriting and I also use stupidly obscure abbreviations etc

When I look back at my notebook, it's easy to see how at the start of the year I was like 'mmk I'm gonna make it really neat so at the end of the year I can find all my revision stuff easy'

That happens for a few pages... and then eventually just turns into mindless scribbles of words taken out of context with doodles around the edge of the page

If you give me a sheet of graph paper, you can bet your ass I'm filling it in like a chess board

People can read my writing, but no one would ever say it is pretty. It's probably just above the legible mark.

Going to drop some handwriting knowledge on you guys.

Most people have bad handwriting because they are using the wrong muscles to write with. Most people use their wrist/fingers to write with, this is bad form (it gets even worse when you try to write fast).

The muscles you should actually be using are further up your arm (think shoulder area), these are actually more precise and consistent once trained than wrist/fingers...just ask any high level golfer.

The best way to practice is to write large on a chalk/dry-erase board on the wall, as this will limit the amount of wrist action you can use.

I didn't think mine was too bad until one day back when I was in middle school i thought i'd score some points with my girlfriend and leave her a romantic note in her locker. I ended up having to read it to her because she couldn't make out what it said.

Mine is legible I guess, but I don't like it. Too messy

At class people pretty often ask me 'What does it say here?' 'Is this a k or a h?' kinda depressing -_-

Mine doesn't look nice, but it is more readable than most.

2 things.
1. Its in spanish (i'm latin american, but my family is from england, so no worries

)
2. its flipped (cause i took it without a mirror u-u)

It looks, as my friends describe it, like grasshoppers humping ants. Really.

Same. Honestly, as soon as I started doing homework on a computer I think I stopped writing completely.
