I nailed 4 marking periods in 5th grade handwriting with a grade of F... with 4s for “effort” on a 1 to 4 scale, 4 being lowest rating. I took up block writing... capital letters. People often compliment my writing when I handwrite something to communicate a message to someone else... but when I am just scratching out notes for myself... 4s for effort still.
Oh... and my signature... people say I have a doctor’s signature. It can be pretty illegible.
My signature too, is pretty bad. Don’t care, I just figure no one would be able to copy it. I too use all cap, block letters. I like the way it looks, I can read it, however if i have to write very fast I tend to loop letters and the print gets bigger and way less easy to read. My Co workers always ask others to label things. :-)
