I have bad hand writing part time. I.e. in exams! I like my handwriting otherwise, and hate writing messily

Same! Normally my writing is pretty neat, but in exams it goes all over the place!

All the doctors should join this club
Bev.

DOn't get me started on my handwriting! So many teacher's have suggested that I make my handwriting bigger - and this was just a few weeks to exams! Argh...I write neatly but apparently it's too small Although it gets a little messy in exams

I had one teacher who always used to say that I should provide a magnifying glass if I was going to write so small. I got so fed up with her saying this every time I handed in an essay that one day I taped a magnifying glass to my essay. Unfortunately it turned out that she didn't have a sense of humour

I've also been known to hand in work with a magnifying glass attached because it was so small (and math coursework in spanish ). My writing is very neat, but so small and italicy that some people have trouble reading it. It gets progressivly smaller throughout an exam... Sadly I don't have enough cheap magnifying glasses to attach to every one of my papers!

Count me in I have to print everything so even I can understand it.

I have bad handwriting! I'm in!

Excuse me! I have good handwriting!

I, alas, don't. I suspect I could be held up as the archetypical doctor-with-bad-handwriting!

The funny thing is, it isn't because I'm a doctor - honest! I've always had bad handwriting. At primary school I got given extra handwriting exercises to do in my summer holiday to try and fix the problem (it didn't work) and my mum made me do them, every day!.

I have this mental image of me being in remedial classes for handwriting at the same time as finishing top of the class in English, Science and Maths but although the second half of that did happen I suspect the first never did - what I'm remembering is the result of me once saying it happened, conjuring up the image and then remembering the image and half convincing myself it was real (if that makes sense). A vivid imagination in a child isn't always a good thing - as time passes it blurs the edges between past realistic fantasy and past reality, so one has to be careful about claiming one's memories as accurate! However, it certainly could have happened: I can't always read it myself, which is why I type most things when I can.

Can I join?

Oh Me! I want to join.. my handwriting is notorious.

The other day I wrote a note on the desk to my friend (unfortunately it said "I hate .... ...." because she was being really mean to my friend) and I got into huuuuge trouble because they could tell just by looking at the whole, spider in an inkpot appearance that it was me.

As it happens - you're wrong. Mine's very legible, if I use a fountain pen, and merely legible if I don't. Doesn't always stop the local pharmacists misreading my prescriptions, which is doubly odd as I type those on the computer .

Can I please join as well.

I too was made to have extra handwriting sheets in primary school, never helped though, computers are faster and neater for writing.

*tries to decipher scrawl on note by desk*

"IU jow te". No that doesn't look right....."I'll join too".

I can't join your club .... I won prizes for my handwriting when I was younger.

I could form an 'I've got big handwriting club'.....

I couldn't join the big handwriting club I'm afraid...

When I was in junior school we were taught a slightly different style of hand-writing every year! Some liked loops, some didn't, one teacher wanted us to write the letters Z and G in one way, the others did not etc. By the end of our time there we all had developed the most individual and distinctive styles of writing! When I write for pupils I always print rather than join letters. I took lettering as a part of my GCE art exam and have had some interest in calligraphy ever since. I find a lot of adult's handwriting quite difficult to read. I have perhaps two or three friends whose writing is clear. Mine is very bad indeed when I am writing notes for my own use but I can always read then. No one else can, and this is often a very good thing.

I was taught to write joined, so it is.

Me!!!

i want to join! pick me pick me!! *cries in dispair as noodles gets chosen instead*
hehe!
xx

I think I might need to join!
Half of its laziness as I can't be bothered with finishing words when I'm trying to write quickly so I just end long words with a scribble...
I can't read it very well either so I always worry that examiners won't be able to read it and will give me a bad mark

hehe! thats y i love these forums! you get to type instead of handwrite!
xox

You must be one of the very few then Fred. Apologies
Bev.

Sorry Ana, you are unusual though. You should see some of the prescriptions we have to decipher
You can join Fred in the Hall of Fame Rob could work at our place
Bev.

Admittedly I can't read the handwriting of any of my partners in the practice .

I'll join. On my english exam i made an A look like a stick figure going to the toilet. It was quite impressive in its own way.

I'd join only you wouldn't be able to read my application...

I can vouch for that!

I can't join either club, I'm afraid - pretty neat writing...

Pretty and neat eh. Lovely
Bev.

I never thought I'd be sad to have relatively ok handwriting .
But I can't join either, although my writing does have split personalities.

I thought when I wrote that that someone might make a comment - thanks, Bev!

...which means there's no excuse for me singing the wrong words!

Unless you say you need new spectacles...
