Mine was never good, and it’s horrible now. ---

I’m 31 and mine’s still pretty good. It’s changed a lot over the years though, particularly since my Grade 12 year when I learned Forkner shorthand. On a different note, good handwriting seems to run amongst the men on my dad’s side of the family, except for my dad and my brother. ---

Handwriting has always been bad. Now worse. Typing used to be good. Now I mis-type a LOT more than I used to (pressing the wrong keys) ---

I’m sure it’s been said before, but “turning”? My handwriting has been nothing _but_ shit. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-your-handwriting-turning-to-shit/526452.md?page=3)
