Can you write legibly? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers1 month ago

On a regular basis, my penmanship looks good when you try to check it from from afar, but when you try to scrutinize it you can say that you cannot understand it. WHy? because i dont write legibly.Sometimes, I cant understand my own handwritting.What a tragedy. I envy those people who really have nice handwriting and they are doing it without effort and i can say I hope I have that kind of handwirting. In filling out forms I try as much as possible coz I dont want them to get the wrong information and I really have to be very careful.

i usually print to be legible. i have to write slow and careful. otherwise my writing is scribbles and i sometimes can't read it. then when i take care to write legible i have gotten compliments that my writting looks good. i takes care to come across that way. some people can write fast and beautiful. that is very nice.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  1 month ago

I also print but no matter how i try, its still the same. If i write slowly, then it could somehow help.I only write slowly in filling out forms.

I have always taken great pride in my penwomanship. I like to not only write well, but beautifully. I think that it's a lost art. I'm not surprised, though, since people really don't have to set pen to paper anymore.

I depends in part on how much space I have between the lines.If I have enough space and not a lot to write, I can make my writing look pretty good. If I am cramped or in a hurry though, it is really hard to read.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  1 month ago

I have a smallseem legible hand writing but thruthfully its not that good when you try to look closer, the more is it hard to comprehend when im in a hurry.

My penmanship is also not very nice... and like you... i sometimes do not understand my own handwriting... i need to use the pilot tech pen or pilot ball point pen just to make it look nicer and understandable...

I remember being scolded often by my grade one and grade two teachers because of myh bad penmanship... but no matter how hard i try... i can't really make it look very nice... thank God we now have a computer where we can just type letters, essays... and everything... made my life a lot easier...


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  1 month ago

Yes, thank God for the computer but the problem is that I dontknow how to type using my ten fingers.LOL, I always have loop holes but the computer is a lot better. Its good that people wont judge us too much in terms of handwritting and its not part of our resume.

I can say that I have a good penmanship because when I was still a kid, my aunts always ask me to write something so that I can keep my penmanship clean and easy to read.. But then sometimes, I don't like writing because it is really tired.. I sometimes don't understand my penmanship because I was trying to change how I used to write.. Even many people said that I have a good penmanship, still for me I don't like my own penmanship.. I guess people have their own perceptions.. lol

If you don't like your penmanship, I feel that I can change the way you write for the rest of your life as I teach HANDWRITING IMPROVEMENT. Please do get in touch with me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

Well, all you can do is to trust the judgement of the people around coz they are the perfect judge when it comes to penmanship, of course when its yours you can always say thats its not good.

HAVE A NICE DAY!

Hi Zelmarq! I do think that my penmanship is really nice! haha..That is what I would like to think. haha..Anyway, that is what most people say about my handwriting, they find it really nice. But I am sure that when I write hurriedly, you won't understand any of it for even I, can't read or understand my handwriting in that case.
Take care and God Bless!


myLot reputation of 59/100. mathewsir (412)   ranked 2,307 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  1 month ago

I think I can solve your problem of speed. Two things are required for good handwriting and that is SPEED AND QUALITY. I have developed a course on handwriting and teach students to get more marks in exams by improving their handwriting.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

Hello mattew, hope you can help me improve my handwriting.

It's like everything in life Zelmarq. You need practice. practice, and then more oractice. This is what I try and tell my Thai students learnibg English. You will never become proficient without practice,
A good wxample is Tiger Woods, the best golfer in the world, when he finishes a round in a tournament, he will head to the practice green to practice a shot that he wasn't completely with that day.
Practice your writing for a short time everyday, and you will get better.


myLot reputation of 59/100. mathewsir (412)   ranked 2,307 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  1 month ago

Well I can help your Thai students learning English and having a bad handwriting. I teach students to improve their handwriting. Please tell your students to get in touch with me. I can give them some rules and also view my instructions on video.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

Thats good matthew, at least we can see hope here for those who have a bad writing. Also to mipen, I will try to practice writing legibly sometimes im too lazy to write the letters properly.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mipen2006 (1193)   ranked 984 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

I only have each level for thirty hours, but do try to help yhose with bad handwriting. However our main focus is on conversation there is limited time to spend on handwriting. If you can help, do you have a website, or should students contact you directly. I would only amount of communication skills. Thank you for your offer.pass an email address onto students with a reasolable

Not only do I write legibly but I also teach students to IMPROVE THEIR HANDWRITING. I was blessed with a beautiful handwriting and looking around I found that at least one person in every family had a bad handwriting. Then I spent hours and hours observing my own handwriting and came with with some rules called THE 7 RULES OF BEAUTIFUL HANDWRITING. The moment a person's handwriting goes shabby he/she is not following one or more of these rules. If you are interested I can give you these rules and also show you a video that could help you to a great extend. Also do let me know of any other person who has a problem with handwriting. Bye for now.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

Ok, i think im al hopeless case when it comes to handwriting and I dont think I could ever improve it for good. If i change my mind I will inform you. Thank you for sharing my friend.

My hand writing has been legible and does look good on paper. However, sometimes I do not like it, I feel its kinda shabby. I feel, a lot depends on the the pen we use. A good pen makes our writing so legible and nice. Personally, I prefer thick nibbed pens which makes my handwriting look good.

Thanks.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Zelmarq (3502)   ranked 80 out of 7,693 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

Yes i totally agree with you when it comes to the kind of pen, theres a pen that can motivate us to have a good hand writing but on my part it does not take that much to maintain that hand writing.
