Show off your handwriting

by **Dawetid** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 2:50 pm

For some reason I've recently become addicted to writing things by hand instead of typing.

While people say "penmanship is dying/dead", I don't believe so, and it can be revived if you appreciate the art of writing by hand.

I've written a phrase in several languages, all of the following which I am either fluent in, or can communicate to a certain extent:
English, Chinese (written in two scripts, Simplified and Traditional), Japanese,
and my conlang, Dawetidish [in two scripts, "Modern" (based on Latin script) and "Traditional" (based on Burmese script)].

While I don't boast that I'm the best writer in the world, I find that my writing is unique among my community, in that I write in cursive while everyone else writes in print.

So what does your handwriting look like? Perhaps you could show it off, and/or rate/comment on the writing of the above user(s)! You can use anything, not necessarily the above phrase.

Hmm, it seems that people on the forum aren't quite fond of their own handwriting?

I don't really write in either, I think. It's joined-up but I don't follow a consistent system. Is that cursive?

Would you like to show it? Then we can judge.

My writing's a cramped, messy hybrid of cursive and print that more than one of my schoolteachers described as Sanskrit. I don't know Sanskrit, but I've seen it and it looks a lot tidier than my handwriting.

I'll try to get a picture up if I think about it.

The only good thing i pm my handwriting is the letter F. It is a stylish letter F

My handwriting is best described as "neat, unless it is a personal note."

my handwriting is unreadable but if you insist, only thing is how the heck am I supposed to screenshot a picture of it from my PC?

Ohhhh, handwriting show-off! Yes, just my thing!

Let me provide a link to mine. I used OneNote to write my notes/workings/homework, but it's close to my handwriting on paper.

Disclaimer: I'm not asking for homework help; this was done long ago, and because only thing I usually write was my uni/college stuff.

@Dawetid: I really love your Burmese script handwriting! It's like those that you see on roadsigns, noticeboards, etc.

my handwriting is as messy and unorganized as roadkill.

some of the letters are connected. some aren't. most of them are barely legible unless you're used to my handwriting. it's gross.

yet i love it.

Mine is best described as loose or sloppy cursive. If I’m rushed or in a hurry it’s a curvatious print.

You can take a picture with your phone/camera, connect to your PC, find it and upload it...

Thanks! When I'm writing random stuff I write like this, though:

I have also tried to write something in non-Latin scripts (not including the ones already shown above, and only the ones I can read for now), in the order they were revealed to me:

Scroll down to the map of my nation and you can see my crappy handwriting

My handwriting is terrible. It's hard to read because it's messy.

Mine is cursive, because print is discouraged everywhere except on certain documents in England .

Writing is very much a standard part of life.

My ability to perform cursive has degraded horridly over time.

Mine was once described like a spider on acid.

Thanks, although I think otherwise.

Russian, since I don't know English cursive.

Wow! When I write in Cyrillic, I always worry that one can’t tell between и, м, ш or лл.
