Didja ever get a letter or something hand-written from somebody you'd known for many years and just be amazed at how much it looks like it was written by a five-year old?

I've been seeing some things recently that leave me at a loss.

I can't read cursive and can only write my own name with said styling.

I have terrible handwriting. I didn't use a pencil for writing until I was seven & didn't even think of touching a pen until I was 13. I learned my ABCs on a Spectrum ZX at home & an Acorn BBC Micro at school. It was the eighties, we were told we'd do everything on computers in the future. :x

I can't write in strict cursive, but certain combinations of letters flow and lock together, such as most letters paired with "a".

My signature looks like an oscilloscope gone awry. Very tall, scrunched together letters.

Every single one of my college teachers complained about my handwriting, which meant I got to do all my exams alone, on an office computer. It rocked.

I work at an aircraft repair station. All of our technicians have horrible handwriting. Most of it looks like chicken scratch. One guy who works on lights and such, when I can even read what he has written, I sear he is always asking me for new blubs and indigraded cervixes.
