ViZI think we have a winner
And screw your teachers. They should have always allowed printed homework, and laboratory time for it too.

WHAT DO I WIN?!

Obviously the worse writing award. Unless xJaPx beats you.

I have to get a piece of paper to do this later.. I want to compare my 3 different Parker Jotters... I have 2 pens, and one pencil. I also have one that I need to order a refill for that I think my Dad had in college...COOL!

[Viz]

Please note that I was actually trying to write readable.
Normally it looks like a 3 year olds first drawings.

[SmallFry]

Well...as my parents told me...God makes all special in our OWN ways...

Just kidding! We all have different writing styles.

Here's mine:

Sorry for the shoddy scan quality.

Solid handwriting.

I do find it weird that you adhere to the standard 3 to 1 height proportion in your capital "Q" to lowercase, but then you switch to a 2 to 1 proportion for your capital "S".

Do you perhaps grip the pen very tightly and finger write every letter, vs more "wrist / arm" motion..??

I am not allowed to touch a pen.

Hey viz, Can you freehand-quick-draw a few circles and triangles all of different sizes. I would like to see them.

I do pinch my pen, and finger each letter. I have time to perfect it...still young.

I have a pretty wide variety of expensive cheap pens, so I figured I'd take the time to write this out with a bunch of them. Not featured are a Uniball Signo DX UM-151 in black, black blue, and green (.5mm), a red pilot G2 (0.7mm), and a dark green Uniball Signo DX UM-151 0.38mm.

I wrote most of these last Friday, but I found I very much liked the Pilot Varsity, so I spent the weekend taking notes with it. So, for contrast, I wrote out the sentence again just now. I need to get a more fine fountain pen now though.

Yes, I can probably do so tomorrow.

@Quarzac,davkol
Looks beautiful. But I favored davkol's style. Dunno why.

[Quarzac]

Davkol, your ls being 1s confuses me greatly.

[tp4tissue]

Davkol, your ls being 1s confuses me greatly.

Yes, Davkol's handwriting is very' unconventional.

He has extra strokes and breaks the run "counter" to the typical speed/efficiency shortcuts that "Most" other people make.

You mentioned his lower case "L", the line under the l which runs leftward past the stem, this makes no sense  , what's its purpose?

Also note the "right to left crossing of the lowercase "T" in the first line, doing this would also require either a break or near hand lift, because you can't cross the "t" a second time for the next letter.

To be clear, I don't think your handwriting is bad, I am puzzled as to how/why you've developed some of these shapes...
