Mine is horrendous, they tried to correct it with classes. Didn't pan out, they say I have my father's doctor handwriting.

Minus the medical degree ):

Very good. Had to fix everything in my last two years of highschool for AP English courses. Can't edit your paper if you can't read it.

i write in all capital letters, and just make bigger capital letters for the sake of grammar.

it works.

Asian schooled. I feel like my handwriting is grossly below average, but 'illegible' is not even close to description of the worst I have come across around these parts. I've got a feeling my standards are very different according to how most of the TL community whose posts I've read so far in this thread haha.

Definitely below average here. I have epic chicken-scratch. Always sucks when I have to fill in forms and stuff because it takes twice as long to write neatly.

Working in healthcare my hand writing is naturally atrocious.

I still don't understand why most people involved in healthcare have their handwriting so terrible.

When a physician gives me a prescription I can't understand a thing. After I receive it I can decipher what it says only because he/she explained all the instructions while writing them.

Maybe it's because of all the weird long names they have to write while studying? I'm still curious about that...

But anyways, I find it funny when I forget what the doctor said and have to look it on the prescription even though I can't read it, haha.

Bad to the point where I have to write extra careful in exams so the examiner can read it.

Mine looks like someone took shrooms and tried to scratch their way out of a paper prison.

I assume its probably because they can't spell most of the prescriptions correctly so they just cursive and scratch so that its not totally obvious that they can't spell.

It's slow, it's ugly, and it physically hurts my hand.

Really good. All those years of failing engineering classes and redoing the same problem over and over again, including drawings, really got my lines straight. It really cleaned up my form when I sign my name and stuff.

my handwriting is terrible, slow, and hurts my hand... I hate writing, why can't I just type for exams? I would be done in literally 20 minutes instead of 2 hours..

I only write in caps because my lower-case writing is too sloppy

I get comments regularly that I write like a girl. It does look pretty good though.

More than readable, but not pretty at all. And same with my Chinese handwriting. It's rare to write anything at length by hand anymore so practice is hard to come by.
