Handwritings

[Psi-Lord]

What do you guys think about my handwriting.

Just loved the second style! But then, I could read it, but I suppose a lot of people must complain they can’t, right?

The first style looks really neat, of course, but it gives me the impression it takes forever to write that neatly.

It was years ago but I remember many people saying it looked like Arabic.
That was the reason I left it and decided that from now on I'll write like the first one.
But after years now I can write it a normal or fast speed without being careful or something.

I still have some of my notebooks from school even from 3rd or 5th grade
so I can see how my handwriting gradually became Arabic-like.

IDK about graphology, there might well be charlatans around who offer super-general conclusions which could fit almost anyone, as in astrology (although I sometimes happen to look at my astrological predictions in the newspaper, for the sheer amusement of seeing them wrong at least 50% of the time). OTOH, it's not unreasonable that there's something to it. A colleague of mine once collected our signatures at lunch to give them to a graphologist he came to know (who knew nothing about us, unless she spied...); he said later that she had just glanced at one of the signatures and said, "this person has a hearing problem", which was completely true. She said there were ear-like parts all over the signature. She also said I'm in quite a distress, which was also true...

I agree with modge, graphology is bullshit imo.

Well, bullshit can be harmless fun - as long as everyone involved knows it is. I only have a problem with it when people start to take it seriously and base decisions about, say, national security on it.

30% of people have tinnitus, let alone something else. It's not that surprising.

I know they sort of look different, it's because I was increasing my speed while starting a new line.

meidei, that can be used as a cypher or secret code

And it varies from debilitating to rather mild. Shit, even I have it - in the form of a very slight ringing in my left ear that's only audible in a completely quiet room. This is how cold reading and fortune telling works.

:roll:

You're ready to become a doctor.

Ivan: It looks nice, I adore the way that q looks.

meidei: For the first 5 minutes I couldn't tell in which language have you written those.
I couldn't even tell if it's the Greek or Latin or Cyrillic alphabet.

[md0]

It's a miracle I was able to graduate from high-school.

[Psi-Lord]

You can’t deny it has a personality of its own, though. I wonder what real Chinese cursive could be like in your hands. Or what about Perso-Arabic?

[samarqand]

Lada, you have lovely hand-writing! You make Cyrillic look less harsh and instead, very elegant Cannot understand a word of it, although I did recognise this word: как !! haha...

Meidei, I think that is the messiest hand-writing I have ever seen. You should feel proud

[Babelfish]

@Lada: nice! I was even able to understand the first couple of phrases Is the additional curl in your б a common thing, btw?

@meidei: wow, your Greek handwriting may even win over my fastest English writing...

I think it might even be legible

It is somewhat legible actually. I'm not sure what the word before "careless" is though. Meidei is... playing in a league of his own...

[md0]

That honestly makes me sad

[Marah]

I'm sorry.

[md0]

Not what you are saying guys. I can see it myself.
I am sad that I could never improve my natural handwriting (if I write slowly of course it's better, but you rarely have the time to write lengthy texts slowly).

Do school children over there use cursive/handwriting copybooks? (Not really sure that’s what they’re called in English.) When I was a child myself, they were basically compulsory, but nowadays they’re rarely (if ever) used. Some teachers claim they could perform wonders to a child’s handwriting.

But then again, I had this friend whose mother was a teacher herself, and he had one of the worst handwritings ever! She’d always tell people how copybooks didn’t work for him at all, no matter how hard she tried.
