How many people here print and how many here handwrite? Today we are supposed to make a 101 word thing in handwriting. I'm trying to do it, but its impossible!!!!!

my handwriting could best be described as atrocious, or an affront to writing everywhere

Ever since I took Architectural Drawing in High School, I've always printed and usually in all caps, with the capitalized letters bigger than the rest. Odd I know.

Hmm, my handwriting is best described as two crows, drunk and dipping their feet n ink and then dancing, poorly, over a sheet of paper..

Wow, I can't believe there are kids today who can hardly handwrite! It used to be prophesised by people when I was younger, but I had no idea things were going so fast! Sorry if that sounds dumb, I'm just really surprised to hear this! When I was in secondary school, we did everything by hand and hardly anybody had a computer.
Of course I handwrite - it's usually sloppy, but if I put my mind to it I have quite beautiful handwriting. I practise calligraphy so I can write in most old scripts (texture, bastarda, uncials, italics etc). I also used to be able to imitate people's handwriting. Never used it for mischief but in highschool I had a big teenage crush on this bloke and I could copy his handwriting so well I don't think he himself would have noticed the difference

Edit: LMAO @ Wolfie! Another thing I forgot to mention is that I'm really good at deciphering other people's handwriting. Sometimes teachers had to ask me about my classmates papers
At university I followed a course in Palaeography which was great (deciphered lots of 15th-18th century texts, even some shorthand).
