Okay, Smunkeeville's Personality Test thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=508521) made me curious about what you all write like.
Because writing with a mouse sucks this totally deserves its own thread.

As in, show us your handwriting.

Write something down, scan it or take a picture of it or whatever, and put it up here.

I'd say you can write whatever you want, but for scientific comparison purposes and for those not feeling overly creative, here's the infamous Stella paragraph again:

°°°

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store:
Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and
maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake
and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red
bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

°°°

Aaaand... go!


(I will post my sample in a minute. Or five.)

i don't have a scanner.

Absolutely bloody typical. My camera's batteries have died. And I'm buggered if I'm going to get new ones right now. You'll have to wait 'til tomorrow, I'm afraid.

Conveniently enough...

Futurama, woot!

Like a drunken ink-dipped spider on rollerblades.

Would post a pic, but you wouldn't be able to read it, and besides I don't have a scanner anymore.

My handwriting is either hyper-condensed and unreadable, or ALLCAPS and jagged.

I don't have a scanner, a digital camera, a cameraphone, a webcam, or anything else...

Futurama, woot!

...I thought I recognized that from something...

Absolutely bloody typical. My camera's batteries have died. And I'm buggered if I'm going to get new ones right now. You'll have to wait 'til tomorrow, I'm afraid.

Anyway, somebody forgot she had to reinstall her faulty scanner first :rolleyes: so it took a bit longer, but here it is:

Here we go. Something I'm working on for a game that I'm making with several others. It's from a MUCH larger scan, and is zoomed in a bit much, but whatever. This is what my note-writing handwriting is like :

That's a very interesting smilie. I don't think handwriting is really a great judge of gender. Mine's very messy and doesn't look at all the way most people seem to expect a girl to write. I can't post a sample right now, though. Maybe later.:)

It's blurry, but you can make it out. I didn't have room on my desk so I wrote it on my knee, which probably accentuated the messiness.

Funnily enough, I was thinking that your handwriting looked a bit similar to WYTYG's. :p

Usually, it is, though. Especially when correcting homework, you get the impression that all guys want to hide their mistakes in bad handwriting.
Most homeworks done by girls were easy to read and pleasant to the eye.
Nah, that's not very 'girlie'.. at least you don't put little circles as dots for i's. I've known two men that do ..
Maybe because it was done in ball point pen and not ink. I tend to use a mixture of script and block letters then.

You're one of the few who's said that it doesn't look girlish in the last 20 years. I simply consider it readable... ;)

Funnily enough, I was thinking that your handwriting looked a bit similar to WYTYG's. :p
Well, that might be because we're both Germans and thus have been taught the same kind of handwriting at school?

Pretty? I wouldn't quite go that far. But thanks. :) And no, there are no dots on the I's. Several years of hurried lecture-note taking and exam-writing has trained me to dispense with such luxuries. :p I do have a quirk whereby I sometimes realise i've left them out and then track backwards through my sentences dotting them, though.

Camera (phone) or something like that?

It died too in the Paris riots last March. I've been to lazy to get it repaired.

:(

That's definitely one of the most "I'll write every letter completely seperate from the others, yes I will!" handwritings I've seen. :p

Oh! I just recently realized I have a secondary handwriting that puts all the letters together. I can alternate back and forth between that and the normal, c'est plus cool.

This thread is über cool. Witt-Witt, receive the SoWiBian Award for Outstanding Thread Achievement. :]

I shall go to writing something immediately, but posting it will have to wait until tomorrow late in the day when I have access to the uni scanner (and if, and only if, I figure out how to operate it..)

Now, let's think how we can exploit that, shall we? ;) You can write notes for her teachers so she can skip school. :p
Seriously, is there any use for that kind of thing once you're out of your teens? Hm, maybe forge a will or two... *cackles*

hmphh. Well, like I said it looks just like my dad's, who's a very un-womanly man. So GN's writing looks as barrel-chested and testosterone-infused as possible to me.

It's gibberish! :eek: :p
It's E&M notes, I'd participated in a similar thread on another forum last year and had that sitting around in photobucket.

You didn't say where you thought I was from based on my writing either. :(

It's higher math, I believe.
It's part of the derivation for torque on a current look in a magnetic field... I think. I took that course last year. For a physics class, but clearly it involves a little math.

Oh, also, if anyone wants to see my caps writing and a cute, educational comic I drew: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/vajaradakini/IMG_0387.jpg

You stole my damn idea, WYTYG! :mad:

I will forgive you, though.

But it's funny that you don't get physics at all. My dad is a physicist. He used to help me with my studying, so I've seen myriads of equations and physics explanations written out in your very writing!

You sound just like my friend Ira, except he won't be majoring in astrophysics, I believe my friend Steve is though.
Well, it's not like I'm majoring in astro because I want to inspire fear and respect, I'm majoring in it because I like it and it interests me greatly. I mean, you have to like it and be half decent at it to get anywhere really.

It doesn't look "typically American" at all. The only thing that looks American is the word "Taylor" in the second link. Other than that, you could as well be European. Or something. :p

I only kind of enjoy it, but only because I don't get half the shit we're doing in AP Physics. But Ira on the other hand, loves it. His dad's an engineer and has all these crazy physics and calculus books that he goes through. His time at home when he's not playing his tuba is spent doing physics and calc homework, or making up his own equations and doing them :(

Hehe, good thing I've already looked that one up and then decided to go with readable. Yes, it's the word we all (should) want.
Oh, I love physics. It's so much fun. And for some reason whenever I mention that I'm majoring in astrophysics I seem to get a lot of respect/fear from people I've just met. It's funny.
I'd go ahead with astrophysics if only I could use the telescopes and spend the night gazing into space.
You're welcome.
But it's funny that you don't get physics at all. My dad is a physicist. He used to help me with my studying, so I've seen myriads of equations and physics explanations written out in your very writing!
I understand physics up to the point in which you put it into formulas. Then it simply leaves me. Or I've had too few physics lessons and bad teachers in school.
Or (I know, a crazy theory) your dad and I are linked in some weird way expressed via our handwriting and what I lack in understanding physics is overdeveloped in him? :p

Somebody just fell in love with you. :p
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/ZombieLove.gif Hehe, it takes a little more than that - but compliments are always good for my fragile ego.
Oh, I was thinking more of this (http://images.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ii.fmph.uniba.sk/~mnagy/photogalleries/ExperimentPQ.1/im000774.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ii.fmph.uniba.sk/~mnagy/photogalleries/ExperimentPQ.1.en.html&h=480&w=640&sz=62&hl=de&start=29&tbnid=KIa6CjmkmjUyHM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgrade%2Bschool%26start%3D20%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN) kind of school.
In which case my legible handwriting in chalk on a blackboard could prove as an advantage to those who sit in the last row, right?
ETA: Ugh, smiley overkill. I have to go into smiley rehab. =(
I'll make the call on smiley overkill and while you might have overdosed a little, there's nothing a little rest can't cure. No need for rehab (yet).
I'm more worried that SoWiBi has started using smileys like :] although she'll probably explain that it ain't smileys but a faulty keyboard or a glitch in the matrix.

Since I can't put up my real writing, I'll put up a sample of my mouse-writing...

Well, it's not like I'm majoring in astro because I want to inspire fear and respect, I'm majoring in it because I like it and it interests me greatly. I mean, you have to like it and be half decent at it to get anywhere really.
Fear and respect are just a bonus, eh?:p Mmmmmm, feeeeeeeeaaaaar.....
Ok, well that guy's a much bigger nerd than I am, he'll probably be the kid who screws up the curve for the rest of the class.

Nah. I would love to wriggle myself out of it like that, but unfortunately the little crumbs of decency I sometimes find under my carpet won't let me.
It's more like I had some unpleasant experiences with people who did not get the message as intended without smileys so decided to break the dogma. I will, however, refuse to make use of these animated hellish creatures and go with the basic emotion conveyors only.

I can read both very well. Now, with writing fast, my problem is that the size also increases, thus I don't save any time because I pretty much "write more, only faster".

heh! yeh, i like my flourishes :D. i like my capital 'A's for flourishes especially. shame there's none in that sample, i should have just used your 'Stella' passage. a lot of people find my writing hard to read, not sure why *shrugs*. I find your writing a bit hard to read too and yet it looks good at the same time, maybe cuz it's quite curly.

I swear I read that as "sexiest someone has seen" twice.

I don't think it's messy, but I do see what people mean with the spacing. As for the other thing. People, eh?


ta :). i used to squash my letters together to disguise the fact that i wasn't using joined up writing because i thought it looked messy and it was quicker for me to just print. but then i started using some joined-up letters and it became horribly messy.
edit: oh, and i wouldn't have said your writing looked particularly girly, certainly not next to mine anyway :), androgenous maybe, but not girly ;). i quite like my writing to be girly, boys writing always seems too awkward and jagged to me.

You can tell that I still switch between both writing styles, especially on the small "L"s. And it really depends whether I make an effort of writing the way I learned or simply put the letters/words down in a way that I adapted over the years. ;)

yep, i do. sometimes my writing is really big like i posted here, sometimes it's sort of 'normal' size. also, the slant angle varies a lot but it always goes forward, and the curliness goes from 'ridiculous' to 'only where necessary'.

What's the laziest way possible to reduce a scanned image from 233KB to <= 100KB? :rolleyes:

I find it quicker and easier to print, I never did learn how to write joined-up legibly. I have to install my scanner, I'll write something and post it after Torchwood.

I generally seem to use my weird capitals-with-dotted-i's writing whenever I'm writing short messages, especially notes for other people, and my standard print when I'm writing anything longer than a sentence or two, probably because the former does take a bit longer than the latter, as you say. (As for cursive, I never use it except to sign my name; hence why I didn't include it in my sample.)

Hehe, my "weird capitals" don't have dots, though. ;)
I very rarely use cursive only - even my signature is this special mix of both cursive and print; only that it is very distinct when it comes to which letter is taken from which script.
It's pretty much, "pick whatever supports the flow" in all other cases, though.

Oh, and I propose that there be a display of posters' numbers!

o.O Did you make it extra-scribbly for the sample? You're only, what, 17?!

Anyway, the "from" in "from the store" and the " her" in the last line are totally the cursive kind of Anglo-Saxon - kind of what I was talking about earlier with the "Commonwealth flow". Seems some Americans have it, too. Or probably they all did and most people today just don't use it anymore.

No, not extra scribbly, though that was the second time I wrote it. I figured I hadn't held a pen in over a week, so I should practice a bit first.:p This one is actually much less readable, but representative of my handwriting. And I'm 18, sweetness, not 17. ;)

Yes, I am, and I don't think it will mean that we are awesome and cool. We already know that. However, I do have hopes that it will detect latent psychic mind powers! Well, let us know either way.

Looks like it's going to be a little longer until I upload my handwriting. I've got new batteries, but now can't find the USB wire.

Your "m" is driving me bonkers. :p hehe, you're not the only one! :D my friends think it's weird too. i just copied the way my dad writes it cuz i thought it looked distinctive.

I don't think I knew that the British wrote their "1" and "7" like we do, not like the Americans. I'm totally learning things here.

i didn't know it was a cultural thing. i think here it's written both ways. i used to write '1' and '7' like they are in this font but i thought a 7 with a line through it looked cooler. and it's much less awkward to put a line half-way up a seven than a line exactly at the bottom of a one without it looking messy.

Of course. :)

I don't do my "1" like that - it's just a straight line, identical to my "I". And I've been told I'm strange for doing a 7 with a line through.

cool, i used to always write with fountain pens, but i kept breaking them or loosing bits of them so i just use biro now. i always wanted to try doing calligraphy but never got round to getting one of those fancy pens for it.

If there was a script that was at once clearly written yet pretty illegible, this would be well on the way to it. :p

You should see what it looks like on the rare occaision that I take notes in class. It's full of a strange shorthand that makes sense to me and has a number of French words thrown in when I happen to think of the French word before the English one. It's also even less legible.

Okay, Smunkeeville's Personality Test thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=508521) made me curious about what you all write like.
Because writing with a mouse sucks this totally deserves its own thread.

As in, show us your handwriting.

Write something down, scan it or take a picture of it or whatever, and put it up here.

I'd say you can write whatever you want, but for scientific comparison purposes and for those not feeling overly creative, here's the infamous Stella paragraph again:

°°°

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store:
Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and
maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake
and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red
bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Aaaand... go!

States make use of three unique tactics when dealing with terrorism: Pre-emptive measures, interdictory measures and responsive measures. All counterterrorist actions can be classified into one of these three types. There are variations on each of these factors, and it is possible to have combination responses (such as the US invasion of Afghanistan), in which responsive actions are also partially pre-emptive.

Wait, what are Oxford commas? Because that sample included an awful lot of commas, which I faithfully copied even thought there seemed to be too many. Which was odd, because, being German, I usually put too many commas when writing English anyway.

Interesting. How did I copy it down as 'cousin'? At least I didn't put 'uncle'.

Why, but because you were not copying, of course. You were quasi-correcting what you read.

Ah! Yeah, those were weird. Hm, I often out put commas in English before/after "and" (one of the few times where English has more commas than German) but I thought before/after "or" was wrong.

You shouldn't really use a comma before 'but' either. It's a conjunction so there's no need for the comma.
