I have this officemate who asks me to write his notes for him whenever he needs to route documentation here in the office, and I was wonderfing why would he not write it himself... hehe oh he said his handwriting is hideous and that is why he dooes not want to write himself for the fear that others might not be able to read it. I asked him for a sample though and i think its just too small and he can try to write it bigger and it should be fine already. But he said he can't make it any better. he he

My dad is my number one critic with regards to my handwriting. I write small, pointed script. Well, I used to write bigger and the strokes were rounder. But when I reached 6th Grade, I made use of a ruler while writing on my notebook. I thought that it was nice to look at coz it looks clean. But of course, if there were lots of things to write, it would take me more time than the usual. And so i started writing without using the ruler under it, and so that is how I got my handwriting now. My sister in law could often tease me and say that my handwriting was too beautiful to be understood!

oh wow!! is that so? i think i would love to have seen your hand writing. i remember in my school they have hand writing class and there was a standard "assumption script'. when we want to boast this we would use the techniques taught to us and we would then see that our friends would wonder how we are able to write similarly. =)

Funny for you to say that, but my handwriting is similar to that used by the students in Assumption College! I wasn't even aware that time that they have such thing. I only learned about it a year later after I have adapted the handwriting when one of my close friends transferred to Assumption when we went to High School.

I think I can say that my handwriting is very good since most of my friends used to borrow my notes when we were still at school. And now my manager asks often asks me to do the writing tasks. Actually I don't think it's good, but my friends say it's neat and readable. So I guess it's good.

Before when I was in high school my handwriting is not really good. But as I learn to write in all caps, My writing has been okay and everyone can read it. Some even say I have good handwriting and they like it. They say they can read it very clearly.

my hand writing is good, but not as an expert. i always try to write differently than others and think they feel jealous of it. probably i didn't end it. good handwriting is also one main thing i like in others. if any one having a bad writing i won't be interested in reading their note.

I am lucky to have a nice handwriting,. When I was still in school I always have the position as a secretary of our class because they find my handwriting beautiful as they say.. my husband has a terrible handwriting but I learned to read it because we used to write love letters for each other..

I am not good at reading handwriting. I can read some people's handwriting while I cannot read some others. I think some people can read handwriting very well. I think if letters are big then most people can read it well and if they are clear.

I can certainly read my handwriting. I know that other people can read it as well. Some have said that they like my handwriting. I can't complain. I don't think that it's the best, but I don't think that it's the worst either.

people can read my handwriting even though it very ugly to be look. And I can not read a prescription from a doctor, sometimes maybe people in the pharmacy gave wrong medicine.

oh if that is the case, there is really a danger in here, right? i mean if people cannto read the prescription well.... but then knowing the pharmacies, i think they almost always are trained to read such kind of hand writing too. hehe

I have really good handwriting so everyone can read it just fine. My husband on the other hand, I have to write everything for him too because otherwise no one would be able to read what he wrote...

hehe oh i guess guys (majority) does not have a very legible writings.. maybe because they are just lazy to write (that is the reason of my friend who does not like and he said he tries to rush his writing so he would be done and then the outcome is always not so good. hehe

It varies, sometimes neat other times barely readable. Guess depends on my effort and how rushed. Happy mylotting!

oh if i see someone's handwriting as not really readable i think i would not dare mock the person but would just kid with him.. :D (if we are close) but if not i would just clarify what he wrote. hehe Thank you and I really appreciate your time to respond in the discussion.
