My handwriting recently has changed significantly. It's the damnedest thing. Has anyone else ever experienced this thing?

I've begun to wonder whether or not I have some noma of the brain or perhaps a Sybil.

Of course, cancer and dissociative identity disorder are never funny.

Okay, my/your handwriting changes.

Wtf, people?

When I worked at Sony I had to sign my name about 200 times a day, and
during that time my writing changed drastically. I went with a more ergo thing
I guess. Not sure what happened, but 15 years later it's still the same.

My handwriting has been atrocious ever since I first picked up a writing utensil. I have no idea if it's gotten worse or better.

I found a type of pen I liked several years ago that made me write much more clearly. This writing style change became standard even when I wasn't using my chosen pens.

Perhaps you have had a writing instrument change that has altered your handwriting?

I would expect you have explored this avenue.

Anyway, could you describe the change? Are you topping your "i's" with bubble hearts now or what? Perhaps you could offer three adjectives. FMP.

My handwriting changed a lot when I was studying Ancient Greek. It was actually neat for a cupla-two-tree years dare.

It has gone downhill since then and is some abominable mixture of cursive and printing.

As I now record about 99% of my thoughts onto a keyboard rather than with paper and pen, I've found that my handwriting, which was not good to begin with, has gotten significantly worse.

Another thing this reminded me of: I work in an office full of mainly architects. Most of them have a similar style to their handwriting. It's really creepy. I think it's more pronounced with the older architects that learned mainly how to draft with pencil and paper, but the younger ones that learned on AutoCAD do it a bit as well. It must be something they teach them early on.

Mine too. Mainly because I type everything. I can type much faster than write now. It used to be the other way around. Now all I write are shopping lists and checks. I feel like I am tarded when I try to write nowadays. It's the computer...

My handwriting was terrible as a lad. Even through high school. Years of engineering lab work that was required in all caps, followed by years of making and revising equipment drawings in all caps has rendered me almost inable to perform normal, traditional cursive handwriting. I think college graduation was a stark line in how I write. The manual drafting experience makes me fast and very legible in all caps, so it's what I use, even if it freaks some people out...

When I was about twelve or thirteen, I decided I'd print everythig I wrote. I THINK IT USED TO BUG THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HANDED UP TEN PAGE ESSAYS ABOUT A DROWNED CAT OR SOMETHING TO MY WEARY TEACHERS.
I found a big suitcase around that time filled with diaries, letters and whatnot written by a great-great aunt in the most wonderful handwrinting, and it's been copperplate ever since. Even bought a couple of fountain pens.
I don't "write" so much anymore, but I'll do my damnest to make it pretty.

some of you might recall i had bronchitis earlier in the year (belated thankyou to everyone who sent me nice PMs) and at one point i had to go to have an x-ray of my lungs.

the attendant gave me a form to fill out.
after three minutes she politely offered to fill it out for me.
i acquiesced because.....

i use computers so much i had forgotten how to hold a pen.
