Handwriting...

[Southflaguy]

Do you have good or bad handwriting?...What's the worst handwriting you've ever came across?...

I have bad handwriting... Not doctor bad, but still sometimes the the letters are out there...In school the only time I write (by hand) is when I'm taking notes, but even then it's still bad b/c I'm tryng to keep up w/ the professor...All my reports and papers are typed...

We are pretty much still required to hand-write our reports......and alot of Sgts will kick back any paper that isnt at least somewhat neatly printed....

Hey LADep is it eventually typed up, or does it stay handwritten (for court and stuff)?...

It stays in whatever format it started in.....

Some guys are typing their reports....either on the computer in the station, or on their laptop in the car (personal computer.....the computers in most of the cars are 1980s vintage)

You are pretty much still required to write all of your paper when you are on training......

If I take the time to do it neatly, my handwriting is OK. My printing is marginally better. The notable thing about my handwriting or printing is that it's exceptionally small. It helps to keep the words inside the boxes while I'm completing my patient care reports in the back of a moving ambulance.

Printing is neat and legible but not pretty, for summons, anything thats official. My notes are mostly unreadable to anyone but me. So I put down bad.

In school my notes I tak in school are legiable to me and that is all that matters to me. I use alot of shorthand (or whatever they call it) and since it is rushed alot of people cant read some of it. But anything official like work related writing I take my time and make it look good.

I'd consider myself to have good handwriting. The only complaint I've ever gotten about my handwriting is that it's sometimes too small. In the past couple of years, I haven't had any complaints about it though...

My handwriting sucks. I admit it. My wife claims I need occupational therapy. We have been using a computer reporting system since 2002. Luckily I don't have to hand write anything except citations now.

Thank God for my new in car ticketing device (mobile ticketing), the only negative thing on my evaluations 4 years running has been my hand writing. If my hand writing was any worse, it would be in another language. It does not matter if I slow down, take it easy, or any of that. When I was younger I was ambidexterous and mostly did my writing with my right hand. I broke it really bad in grade scholl and switched to the left. Since then I can't seem to write legibly with either, Oh well everything just about everything we do is on a computer now, so I am safe.

Legible but sloppy. I throw capital letters in the middle of a word. If I go very slow and concentrate, it is ok, but sub standard in the pretty writing crowd. Thank god we type everything. The department is actully going to a green type system, where all reports stay loaded into a super redundant hard drive and we will no longer print them out, except when needed for court or if the victim requests one.

I print and write cursive beautifully. I get a lot of compliments on it.

I love the old school style pens with the nib tip. If I'd been born a few centuries ago I probably would have been writing copies of books by hand.

Hey, you asked.

As for the worst handwriting I've seen? I had a best friend in high school who I would joke with about writing me notes with her feet... It was pretty bad.
