    Losing the ability to write?

    Is anyone else so used to doing everything online and with a keyboard that they've almost lost ability to write with a fucking pen or pencil?

    I was filling out a form today and realized that my writing has gotten worse than that of my kids...

    Has anyone else noticed this about their handwriting?

          Absolutely. My writing hasn't been this bad since I was about 7. I hope I never have to fill out another job application.

                          My handwriting has always been poor, it has gotten worse since working online.

                          It is chicken scratch, I am the only one who can read it.

                                      YES! when i go to address an envelope i am frightened by what's happened to my handwriting/printing. i even try to slow down like i was in the third grade to make it neater, doesn't help much.
                                      I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                              My handwriting was shitty and messy to begin with....

                                              What i find hard is writing like you are supposed to wtih complete sentances, paragraphs, and other normal writing stuff I don't do on the boards.

                                                  I can still write but the other day I did wonder outloud when the last time I used a pencil was and not a pen.

                                                          yeah, I had to write a note to my son's teacher the other day and had to re-write the damn thing 3 times to get it looking half normal....I didn't want the teacher to think I was retarded or anything...

                                                          I also have this really bad habit of constantly going over certain letters a couple times...but I picked that up before I started using a keyboardso often...O's and C's, I sometimes have to write over them 3 or 4 times....I think it's some kind of OCD....or I'm just retarded

                                                              I stopped writing when I was about 12 and never did it again except for my signature, I don't even remember how to do alot of the letters now.

                                                                  I sent a birthday card to a friend from high school the other day who has seen my handwriting for 30+ years. I wrote a long friendly note. He called me when he got it and asked if I was drunk when I wrote it, lol!

                                                                  And where's the damn spellcheck and backspace key??!!!

My dad brought me up with a drafting board in front of me so all my life my lettering was impecably sharp and legible. Now I'm ashamed just to write down a friggin phone number...

                                                                                              Earlier this year I sat for the bar exam (successfully). You can type in my state but must use an IBM-style, no memory machine (fuck that). I had to do a lot of practicing. It was painful at first. My hand simply wouldn't cooperate. But it came back quicker than you'd think. Too add to the pain, I'm a sloppy lefty and you have to write fast on the bar - which means my fast writing tends to look like chicken scratch.

                                                                                              Whenever we have to fill out forms and such manually, I defer to my wife. She has kickass penmanship.

                                                                                                                          There is no way I can take notes through my computer, wouldn't be as useful. I scribble stuff on a notepad all day.

                                                                                                                          And I also think this helps my wrists and fingers since its a different action than typing. And I refuse to contribute to the demise of good penmanship.

                                                                                                                                                          I was filling out a form today and realized that my writing has gotten worse than that of my kids...

                                                                                                                                                          Has anyone else noticed this about their handwriting?

Neither is the broken index finger I had on my writing hand from years ago.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Ok well i havnt noticed my handwriting different, but i lost the urge to write letters to people. I used to write letters every week to my family that lives in different states, but since i started internet ive lost the urge to do it.
