I never write anymore, all I do is type.

[flvegan]

And my handwriting now looks like that of a serial killer. Can you fall out of "handwriting" practice?

Anyone else experiencing that?

[AlCzervik]

1. yes, when i send out Christmas cards i end up redoing some of them.

[sammythecat]

2. I sure have.

Even my signature is now completely unreadable and not even consistent. My canceled checks all look like forgeries.

[DarkTirade]

3. Hard for me to say, I've always typed more than written and my handwriting has always been horrible.

Probably because I learned how to type properly in 3rd grade.

[Bucky]

4. Sort of. My edit notes on students' papers is messier. But on the class chalkboard

my handwriting of the daily assignments is still textbook perfect. It's odd.

[Ptah]

5. .

6. Absolutely. I noticed a few years ago that my handwriting

had become horrible. What's more, it now feels awkward to write.

[Jamastiene]

22. That's the worst part of it; how awkward it feels now.

I used to have beautiful handwriting. Everyone always complimented me on how neat it was. Now, it feels awkward even holding a pen or pencil. If I know what's good for me, I'll use a pencil with lots of eraser still left, because I'm going to need it.

7. My handwriting usually sucks.

Sometimes even I can't read what I've written!

8. Are you on FB yet?

[flvegan]

10. Am I missing anything?

[sniffa]

13. Only FB threads

talking about you.

[flvegan]

16. I'm sure that they're only nice, lovey-dovey threads, right?

[sniffa]

19. There's a lot of talk about shivs

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

21. Only the people who ARE on FB.

:P

[CreekDog]

9. As I use my smartphone, I'm typing less

I've become a surprisingly good thumb typist. :D

[no name no slogan]

11. Now you can be a doctor. Prescriptions will be a breeze.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. You have paws. I can't imagine how you type, let alone write.

[Xipe Totec]

14. I've even lost my typing skills.

I've become totally dependent on the compiler to find my typos.

[mainegreen]

15. My hand aches after writing one or two sentences.

Taking notes?

Not possible anymore.

[bigwillq]

17. I write a lot.

I wrote for about an hour tonight for work. I like writing.

[jeff30997]

18. Yep.Unfortunately.

My handwriting looks like I'm writing during an earthquake.

[Left Is Write]

20. Yes, you can definitely fall out of practice! My handwriting has suffered also.

My printing still looks like a grade-school teacher's, but my cursive has gotten distinctly sloppier. I also have less patience patience for writing in longhand - I can't go fast enough.

[LeftyMom]

23. You address cards to me two or three times a year, and your handwriting would shame a doctor.

I type all day long (I can write case notes at work, but typing is easier because I don't need to recopy later and my hands don't hurt afterward- stupid arthritis) but I think my handwriting is fine. You'd probably know better than me, you see it whenever I send you stuff.

[fizzgig]

24. my handwriting is pretty much the same it's been since high school

i don't write nearly as often as i used to, but my handwriting is still pretty legible.

[Inchworm]

25. I write a lot

but.. I write like a 3rd grader, so it's easy to read.

Hmm.. I bet I can print legibly faster than I can type.. not good :(

:hi:
