Comment on Ask HN: Has your handwriting suffered from years on the keyboard?

Comments

Not really, I've always had terrible handwriting. Never had the patience to do all the silly writing exercises back in grade 1 :p

On the other hand, I do all my brainstorming and to-do lists on paper (and occasionally whiteboard), so I don't think I'll ever be completely out of practice.

I'm in the same boat. I remember doing handwriting practice in grade 2 or 3, writing the alphabet out in books. Each letter had to be done 6 times and they all had to look the same. I never bothered with it. I can read handwriting fairly well, but I just can't write. I can force myself to, but it's just an unreadable mess.

My signature is even pretty bad. My name is quite long so I tend to just initial everything - otherwise I feel like a dbag standing there trying to sign something for like 20 seconds.

And in school, all my in-class essays/assignments were printed, any other homework I would just type up.
