In this day and age when typing takes the place of writing how does our handwriting compare NS?

Mine is pretty shitty, I really type too much...

It's one of the things I'm pretty good at, coincides with an ability to draw rather decently and my ambidexterity I guess.


This is what a quickly jolted down note from a lecture looks like, do mind that the notebook is around 9 by 14cm or 3,5 by 5,5inches for you imperial folk, so yes I write small, really really small.

Mine sucks. I don't need to write it on a piece of paper, take a picture of it, upload it to my computer, upload it to the internet, and then post it into this thread to prove that.

I'm the exception, the beacon of excellence, and mistakes are not an option.

Also the notebook is 19X25cm I accidentally took the wrong size from the Moleskine site.

Honestly, the neatness changes from day to day. Sometimes it is horrific, other days I can get some pretty neat looking notes. But my good looking notes look terrible compared to Lawrence's here.

If i even get one decent-looking letter out, I'm overcome with joy. If I need to erase that letter, I'm overcome with sadness.

Mine aren't quite as good as Lawrence but when I try, my cursive is pretty good. It's definitely a trade that is disappearing

Here's some Chemistry notes of mine from the other day... this is about a 8"x10" paper
Click for larger image

I'm honestly the only person I know in my school that normally writes in cursive. It's pretty sad that it's dying so quickly. I think it's so much more artistic than print which is why I really enjoy it. I like developing my style and consistency. I actually enjoy writing when it's not notes that I'm scrambling to write down (like this). I'm not sure why, but I just really like it when my letter or word comes out exactly how I wanted it to. I look forward to the day when my penmanship is even close to that of Lawrence's.

Oh, and 2000th post, yay.

I write in all caps all the time. Just started doing it one day back in high school and I've done it since. These are just some somewhat sloppy notes from work I made studying for a test:

And to whoever said cursive is becoming a lost art is right. I learned it so long ago I don't really remember how to write it properly. Hell, I have a rough enough time reading it sometimes.

Every post you make always makes me think that you're the type of guy that would totally suck his own dick if you could.

Or like Christian Bale's character from American Psycho where he fucks that chick and just watches himself flex and shit.

You fucking seem like THAT guy.

I almost never write pen on paper anymore unless I'm signing my name, so it's pretty bad. If I need to write something I just type it.

I don't understand why not more people write in cursive... It's so much faster and easier and it looks better.

Because a lot of people don't realize this. They think that their sloppy as fuck print that they can write quickly is good enough.

Seriously this.

I do, and it is so much more convenient than writing in print. I get complaints when I write in all cursive, so I make it 1/2 cursive 1/2 print...

C'mon, you gotta go all or nothing!

For real though, I get a lot of complaints too. Like when I have to write on the board everyone freaks out like I'm writing in latin or something... So then I write in print, which I do in all caps because I think it's a lot cleaner and then get even more complaints but ignore them.

Oh and nice new icon!

I agree, I am one of two people that always writes in cursive. Its me and another friend from high school, and we picked it up from our 7th grade english teacher. I have people still flip out about it at college. Mine gets a little messy when Im like sprint note taking, otherwise its pretty neat and uniform. But I write in pen, and mess up a fair amount, so a lot of scribbles.

That's better than 99% of the exams I grade.

It's funny how much horrible it gets the deeper you go in the bluebook. Wish I had an example.
