    If you can write in cursive, do so as well as print. If you can only print do just that.

    Use the sentence, "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." as the sample.

    I bet it has been years since I wrote an entire sentence in cursive.

    It has been so long since I've used cursive that I have, apparently, forgotten how to use it. In part, at least.

    Funny thing, I just happened to have this image file from the last time folks on an online forum were comparing handwriting.

    I don't do cursive, sorry. It's just painful.

    I was taught cursive back around 1964, but I had already been printing so long before then that I didn't see the point of changing. For years, the only thing I wrote in cursive was my signature. Eventually, I realized I could print my signature, too.

    Engineers and architects and city planners abandoned cursive for print long before it was cool to do so.

    Man, my phone will get here Thursday, so you will all have to wait and see. Too bad I don't have a giant whiteboard at home. I'm told by my students that my print is outstanding.

    It looks very much like yours. :cool:
    Even your capital T is similar.

    If I could find a scanner, I'd put it up. But the office is closed due to weather and I don't have one at home anymore.

    I'm not posting any examples, sorry.

    My handwriting, and even my printing, both really suck. I should've been allowed to be totally left-handed, but no, my left-handed mother (and teachers) decided that it would be easier for me to be right-handed. Wrong!!

    When "jump" is in past tense, the sentence does not have all 26 letters.

    I suppose you could pluralize "dog", but then the jump has an Evel Knievel quality to it.

    I have crappy handwriting and I know it. I also don't do cursive because it's painfully slow, and it looks like the crappy handwriting of a fourth-grader when I try. handwriting.jpg

    I also realized just now I phrased it in the past instead of present, thus not having an "s" in there.

    Whoops. Apparently I did not learn from @Baraka_guru's example....

    Here are the seven samples. I don't know much at all about handwriting analysis, but here's my impression of each.
    Edit: I also asked my daughter's boyfriend (DB) for his impressions, without showing him what I had written.

    sample01.jpg
    My impression: practical, unsentimental, sometimes a bit impulsive.
    DB: Competent.

    sample02.jpg
    My impression: Optimistic, a bit impatient, guarded.
    DB: Impatient.

    sample03.jpg
    My impression: Focused, determined, pessimistic.
    DB: Careful, perfectionist.

    sample04.jpg
    My impressions: Cheerful, lighthearted, optimistic.
    DB: Intelligent.

    sample05.jpg
    My impressions: Moody, analytical.
    DB: Fun.

    sample06.jpg
    My impressions: Generally happy, honest and open, quite sexual.
    DB: Confident, self-aware.

    sample07.jpg
    My impressions: Intellectual, forthright and confident, but aloof.
    DB: Artistic, proud.

    It ain't pretty - computer nerds never have good handwriting - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Kinda a bastard mix of cursive and print. Now, where'd I put my keyboard?
