Must Be Completed In Your Own Handwriting In Ink: Fill & Download for Free

Oh, this is a big problem that no one takes seriously.I quit writing cursive for moral reasons just as I finished school, and I envy everyone to do so. I don’t even remember how to do it - if someone asked me to write in cursive, they would laugh at my attempt as my hand doesn’t remember it.Everyone writes in cursive, because teachers in schools are forcing pupils to do so. They won’t accept your notebook if you start writing in printed letters.In school, they teach you to write cursive from the very first days. Every letter must be separated with a hook, they teach you how to connect different letters and so on.If you follow all the writing rules, the cursive is completely readable, as all the letters are separated. When the pupil is 6–9 years old, his notebook writing is perfect, as teachers watch your writing and how you connect letters. Basically for the first three years in school you are writing perfect letters everyday.When the pupil gets older, then the mess starts. Teachers now only require the writing to be readable - if they can understand the word, it is fine. So children no longer try to make perfect letter separation, because they know that it’s enough if words are visibly understandable. But the letters themselves aren’t - if you cut the words with scissors, in most cases you couldn’t tell for sure which letters are there. But no one cares, as long as you can logically understand the word. So the handwriting becomes more of a riddle.When people finish school, their writing gets even worse, because no one checks their handwriting anymore, they now write mostly for themselves, and usually they do it so fast and sloppy that no one else can understand their writing. Sometimes people can’t understand their own writing if they can’t remember the context.The problem is that the letters “e и ш м л т” (and Ukrainian and Belarusian “i”) in cursive look almost the same, so without hooks they can’t be visually separated. So many times you look at the handwriting trying to understand “is that и or м/л/ш/e/т?”.This is my friend’s university notebook.We used to laugh on this. When we asked him if he can understand what he wrote himself, he said “sometimes”.But this would be funny if it weren’t so sad. There is a meme in ex-USSR about “doctor’s handwriting”. The doctors are known for their handwriting being completely impossible to read, because they have to write a lot everyday. This is how any paper the doctors give you looks:This is not just one lunatic doctor - they all write like this. Ask anyone from ex-USSR.I have my children hospital card, where different doctors wrote since I was an infant until I was 18. Even if I hired a team of writing specialists, I think they would be able to extract no more than 30% of all the data. Maybe up to 50% if they also had a medic. It is barely understandable.Usually it is explained as almost a doctor conspiracy - the idea is that they do it on purpose so the patient can’t understand the writing and so wouldn’t become paranoid and hypochondriac. I explain it simple - they just don’t care, and everyone accepts it. But I find it rude and disrespectful for them to write that way. It would be actually better if they just creased the paper and threw it to me, but written normally.I quit writing cursive because I respect other people and don’t want them to suffer trying to read my handwriting. I started to hate cursive so much that I started writing in print letters when I was a teen, just because I didn’t want to be alike with everyone around me.This is my handwriting.I also learned from cursive to watch latin letters “n” and “r” to be written as small capitals to distinguish it in fast writing.I carefully watch all the letters being recognizable on their own, out of context. Others ask me how am I writing them fast, since I have to take pen off the paper for each line of each letter. Yes, it is probably somewhat slower than cursive. So in university, when I had to keep up with the lecturer, my writing became more chaotic, but still every letter must be recognizable - this is my motto.This is how it looks like with different writing speed:If I wrote in cursive, half of the letters wouldn’t be recognizable at all.By the way, many people think that if you write in printed letters then you must be retarded. Well, if it’s true, I wish more retards switched to printed letters, as now they mostly write in cursive.Also, black ink is not allowed in schools as well, you have to write in blue. So I started hating blue ink too and switched to black. Black ink matters.

My handwriting is so bad that I am probably the only person who can easily read it. It resembles a strange hybrid between Arabic script and Pitman shorthand. The linking curves between letters are long and swooshing. The closed loops of letters are typically tiny and distorted. Some letters are missed out completely. If I spot the omissions I might go back and insert them individually, but only if they're important for resolving the word. Other letters are barely recognizable or only just hinted at, so that you have to deduce their presence in the word by recognizing the word as a single whole, like a glyph or pictogram, rather than as a series of individual letters.Sure, I was taught cursive writing at school, and there was a time when my handwriting was neater and more legible than it is now, though it was always more functional than pretty, to be honest. As long as my teachers could read it I wasn't too concerned about how nice it looked.It's embarrassing every time I have to write something for someone else to read, and I always instinctively apologize along the lines of 'Sorry, my handwriting's terrible, I know. Can you read it?' In fact, I often resort to printing in capitals rather than using cursive, but even then I break the rules and start linking the letters with swooping curves, like some bizarre hybrid between lower-case cursive and upper-case printing.The problem is not that I lack manual dexterity or fine motor skills. In fact, when I was younger I was passionate about drawing, and quite good at it. I could produce meticulously detailed photorealistic pictures, typically with very fine fibre-tipped or ballpoint pens. I'm still quite good at drawing now, though I rarely get to practice it. So my dexterity with a pen is just fine - maybe even above average. And it can't simply be lack of practice at handwriting in recent years, because my handwriting at college was almost as bad as it is now, and that was before the age of PCs and laptops when most people wrote by hand pretty much all the time.No, I think my problem has always been that I just write so damned fast! I typically think and speak very quickly and fluently, and when I have to put my words down on paper, my writing hand simply can't keep pace with the torrent of words in my head, and so it skids and skitters and stumbles over itself, then lurches forwards again desperately trying to play catch-up with my brain. I can't slow my writing down, because I can't slow my brain down, so the only cure would be to learn how to write accurately and legibly at great speed. But I suspect that this would take a lot of practice, and like most people these days I rarely have a need for handwriting in my day-to-day life, and do most of my written communication via a computer keyboard or a phone keypad. So short of putting myself on some sort of handwriting course, I guess I have to resign myself to my illegible scrawl, and just accept it as one of my funny personal quirks. :o)The one exception to this pattern is when I write mathematics: my handwriting is much clearer and more legible when writing equations and doing calculations than it is with non-mathematical writing, perhaps because I am making a conscious effort to avoid errors of omission or ambiguity of form in the letters and symbols. Even the most minor mistakes in written mathematics can be far more consequential and time-consuming to correct than their equivalents in normal prose writing, because they have a nasty habit of propagating forwards into subsequent lines of calculation. (If you are lucky, the end result of the calculation will alert you to the original error because it will be so obviously wrong or nonsensical. If you are unlucky, the answer will appear to be sensible while actually being wrong, so you will not even be aware that an error has been made.) For this reason, mathematics must always be written with the most meticulous care. It is nevertheless curious that the neatness of my mathematics has never transferred across into my normal handwriting.Regarding your daughter's poor handwriting, I wouldn't be too quick to label her with a learning disability or send her off to a remedial education specialist. And I certainly wouldn't worry yourself that it might indicate any intellectual impairment - not without additional evidence of this, at least. It could just be that, like me, her sluggish hand cannot keep up with her speedy chatterbox of a brain. It might therefore indicate above-average intelligence. And you have already said that she is very bright, which tends to confirm this (has she ever been tested for her IQ?). And as long as she can understand her own handwriting, her learning should not be adversely affected by it. I suspect that the real reason teachers try to encourage good handwriting, and criticize - and even punish and pathologize - poor handwriting is that a student's poor handwriting can make their job more difficult. I suppose we can all sympathize with this; it must be hard for a teacher to mark and grade a student's written work if he or she has difficulty actually reading it.But perhaps there are a few simple, practical things you can try to make your daughter's handwriting more legible, without actually trying to change the way she writes. Try experimenting with different types of pen and paper. For instance, if her handwriting is very small and compact, get her to use a very fine-tipped pen, as this will make the individual letters more distinct and legible. A draughtsmen's fibre-tipped pen with a 0.1 tip is excellent for very fine writing. If she smudges her writing a lot, switch her to a pen with less runny ink, or a finer tip, or get her to write on more absorbant paper so the ink will soak in before she can smudge it. If, on the other hand, her handwriting is blotchy due to her pausing with the pen on the paper for too long, switch to less absorbent paper with dense fibres and a smoother, shinier finish. By trying different combinations of pen and paper types, you are sure to find one that works best for her style of handwriting.In conclusion, I would say no, it doesn't necessarily 'mean anything' that your daughter's handwriting is illegible - not anything bad, anyway. It certainly doesn't mean that she is 'lazy'. You might just have to accept that it is simply part of who she is. And being overly critical of her handwriting might be counterproductive if it makes her feel too self-conscious - and even ashamed - about it. I'd say give her a break about this; she's only 8 after all! :o)

Have you ever heard that “Good things take time ” quote ?? Learning a good handwriting just in a day is not impossible but it is as difficult as it is equal to impossible.. Okey okey.. No more lectures now . Here you go . what all I am aware of , I am indulging over here .First make your handwriting as your passion .Nobody will stop you , if you really want a change in anything . you can find a lot of viedios relating to good handwriting . observe them keenly.You must know how to hold the pen ,if you want to learn cursive handwriting or a calligraphy or a fancy handwriting . Make sure that you are comfortable in the way you hold the pen .Take a paper ( four ruled or the white one ) and start practicing .If you are learning that particular font for the first time , then use ball pen instead of ink pens .( This is what I advice )Don't stress on the pen too much , when you are practicing .First learn how to write individual letters (either in cursive / round ) .Then start writing short paragraphs over and over , slowly and Neately.Take your own time to write it properly .. Don't be in a rush to complete it soon.The most important point “ never give up ” . Don’t loose hopes . Try your best and you will observe improvement in your handwriting at any one moment .. Wait for that moment . ( iintazar ka meetha phal hora hai )I don't believe In practice makes man perfect quote but I believe that .. If you practice any thing (either good habit or the bad habit) more frequently., then it becomes permanent ..All the best …!…! Hope my answer will help you ..Sushmithaarnipally … :)
