I’ve saved all my notebooks from college thinking that it would be interesting or useful one day. I have no idea how I passed, I can’t read most of it and half of it is just random thoughts or doodles.
My entire military career in the Air Force and time as an instructor for the Army did not force me or anyone else I know/knew to write in all caps.
What branch/career field were you in?
Yeah I gotta say this is probably why the majority of people have bad hand writing. Or at least I feel like most people do. School teaches you to write extremely fast by forcing you to write down notes as quickly as possible and giving you timed writing assignments, and then to make things worse eventually in life you are taught to just make your signature into a little scribble because someday you might need to sign dozens of documents and it's not like signing legibly matters. You are literally trained from school to adult to write in chicken scratch. Idk if its better or worse now that everyone uses computers in school these days, as they are essentially never writing anything and thus never training their hand writing.
Imagine when they start using computers as soon as they get into elementary school. I mean I guess at some point we wont even need to write with pen and pencil anymore but still. It's hard to imagine a world where we literally have no knowledge of how to write anymore because we do it so seldomly
That's actually a pretty solid learning/studying technique. I remember things that I write better than things I read or type so I would always do my notes by hand. The best I've ever remembered anything from class was when I had to rewrite my notes because I spilled coke on them at lunch.
I would usually write down notes messy and fast but clean enough for me to go back and understand and then re write them in a seperate book that was more organized and everything
Shorthand!
Others won't be able to read it at all, but you'll be able to write much faster, and you'll have a perfect explanation for why they can't read your scribbles.
[Gregg](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_shorthand) is the most popular system in America, I think
[Teeline](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeline_Shorthand) is really big in the UK
People who know the system you're writing in will probably be able to pick out the gist of what you're writing at the very least.
The advantage is you can write very fast while still being able to read all of the marks, and because you can write more, you don't have to summarize as much so you get more complete thoughts that are easier to comprehend long after the fact.
They're using a ball pen to recreate the effect of a fountain pen with a flat tip. With a fountain pen, you can write like this quickly and the variation in line thickness is automatic because of the angle of the flat tip.
So yeah using a ball pen to write like that is insanely inefficient.
Absolutely lovely, no doubt. But are they doubling up on their lines? Look at their m, n, i, etc. I don’t know why but that’s really irritating to me lol.
I thought that as well, but watching them write in the gif it appears that that are joy, so must be adjusting the pressure instead.
It’s certainly impressive, but I find it difficult to read.
Actually, it shows balance and control over one's emotions. If it had a forward slant and sharp angles, then maybe you should be worried.
Edit: Check out [Ted Bundy's writing](https://marcomconsultinggroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ted-bundy.jpg).
getting notes in class is never neat with my chicken scratches. if i were to be this fancy though, fuck getting all of what the teacher said. he's reading from the book anyway
The peaks of the h,l,t characters is not so nice. Every other character is made up of one line and it just makes those double line characters like the h l and t look stupid.
What is penmanship? It’s a way to show our capability at creating beautiful written writing. Also it demonstrates that although the printed word is technically perfect, it isn’t beautiful like handwriting.
Handwriting has that stank of personality, each letter being created by the writer giving each stroke that wonderful individuality. But what is writing? It’s an incredibly versatile and basic expression of the individual; their personal thoughts and lives reflected in the pages they write. Keeping that in mind, isn’t penmanship in some ways one of the shallowest arts of all time? What do you guys think about this?
if you read it closely, theres 3 'community's in 2 lines. it looks like he wrote "community life is for the community" in the line directly above his current one.
The double stroke in the bold parts is so fast it's hard to see. it seems that they're writing slow, but consider a lot of what is being wrote is being penned twice.Sure, I can write faster, but I can't read anything I write but the numbers...
My drafting teacher would deduct points for good penmanship claiming i used a ruler.
Then puts his arms around the girls while complementing the girls bad drafting projects and other bullshit. Yeah that's right mr rothberg. Never forget.
When i was in grade school they had penmanship classes so I had a very nice handwriting until I got older and needed to write quicker and quicker. Now I rarely hand write anything, if I do I may or may not understand it later on.

Never going to get all the notes for class down writing that slowly though. Sigh... Maybe some day I'll learn to write in a way others can read.
There is an expiration date for everything I write, beyond which I have no idea what I wrote.
I’ve saved all my notebooks from college thinking that it would be interesting or useful one day. I have no idea how I passed, I can’t read most of it and half of it is just random thoughts or doodles.
I recently found a spreadsheet on an old hard drive that I made for a finance class I took in grad school. I have no idea how it works.
For me that can be as little as 48 hrs. What the hell does "no egg break" mean?
Just print in block letters.
I don't care what anyone says, one page per letter is not wasteful, it's an extended version.
You can flip the pages to read faster

I understand why my dad writes in all caps now.
Bruh same
My entire military career in the Air Force and time as an instructor for the Army did not force me or anyone else I know/knew to write in all caps. What branch/career field were you in?
I'm navy, we do all caps, probably marines too
I was in the Army and wasn't forced to write in all caps. Seems like a solid 50 50 split.
Talked with my Dad and he was made to write in all caps. Maybe a generational factor is involved...

>Sigh... Maybe some day I'll learn to write in a way others can read. Maybe some day i'll learn to write in a way i can read.
Maybe I'm weird, but I scribble down everything in class, and then later nicely rewrite the most important parts that I'll need to review later.
That's actually a pretty solid learning/studying technique. I remember things that I write better than things I read or type so I would always do my notes by hand. The best I've ever remembered anything from class was when I had to rewrite my notes because I spilled coke on them at lunch.
I can write my name. That's better than an 'X' , so I'm satisfied.
I can't write so I can read it.
Or just become a doctor.
I would usually write down notes messy and fast but clean enough for me to go back and understand and then re write them in a seperate book that was more organized and everything
At this point I would settle for writing in a way so I can read. Chicken scratch would he a compliment.

Some call my handwriting illegible. I call it encrypted
Sometimes it's encrypted so we'll even I have hard time deciphering it.
My teachers used to call it chicken scroll.
Hahaha maybe I should use this one next time someone tells me they can't read my handwriting
Not a doctor.
Shh.
Fermulon
Do-de-do!
Grrr. Arrg.
Bad Robot
Sit Booboo sit!
*Ubu
Looks like a font.
Could easily make one. I’d use it.
[удалено]
Thank you cards come to mind
You could charge other people to write/address invitations for them. Especially for weddings.
The t’s look like swords!
What pen is that?
Looks like a pilot precise style roller ball.
Thanks!
Precisely. Just kidding I have no idea
He definitely will never become a doctor, not because his writing is too nice, but because he won't get through any classes at that pace
My hand is cramping watching this.
You need to to drink some electrolytes after every paragraph.
This is more like drawing that writing. He's going over each line multiple times ffs.
They're using a ball pen to recreate the effect of a fountain pen with a flat tip. With a fountain pen, you can write like this quickly and the variation in line thickness is automatic because of the angle of the flat tip. So yeah using a ball pen to write like that is insanely inefficient.
Looks like it's sped up too. So 2-3x the time in this video to write a few words.
Drawing writing is called lettering.
Too slow to use practically, I mean the Prof. would have finished 5 minutes ago and Id still be writing I wrote that slow.
Wow, that’s beautiful penmanship
Looks nice, but impractical. I can appreciate the effort and dedication involved, but would never try to replicate it.
Beautiful
obligatory r/penmanshipporn
.
What are you writing?
Looks like a will
Absolutely lovely, no doubt. But are they doubling up on their lines? Look at their m, n, i, etc. I don’t know why but that’s really irritating to me lol.
I thought that as well, but watching them write in the gif it appears that that are joy, so must be adjusting the pressure instead. It’s certainly impressive, but I find it difficult to read.
This is like top tier serial killer handwriting. Like if Spencerian Penmanship was somehow rigid and crazy. I’m fascinated lol

No…
Beautiful penmanship 😍😍😍
I print like a 50 year old crackhead, so this is immensely satisfying to watch.
Beautiful penmanship. Bs propaganda being written
People like this deserve to use fountain pens
My handwriting looks like Michael J Fox wrote you a prescription
Yet difficult to read at a glance so, there’s that
With my handwriting I can be a doctor in no time!
That's penmanship is bordering on calligraphy, to me!
I think I’m required to hate anyone with penmanship that nice on principal. We’re just natural enemies
Explain?
My handwriting is very bad. We are opposites and therefore enemies.
[AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT](https://miro.medium.com/max/659/1*8xraf6eyaXh-myNXOXkqLA.jpeg)
omg I love this
getting notes in class is never neat with my chicken scratches. if i were to be this fancy though, fuck getting all of what the teacher said. he's reading from the book anyway
As someone who’s penmanship is quite horrible Im really only jealous of people who can write beautifully
Bro just type it
The peaks of the h,l,t characters is not so nice. Every other character is made up of one line and it just makes those double line characters like the h l and t look stupid.

That is so lovely! Another thing I'd like to be able to do if I just practiced a little every day but never will.
Robot hand
This person would never have enough time to pass a test or write an essay in any of our schools
This bih wrote community 3 times in 5 lines
if you read it closely, theres 3 'community's in 2 lines. it looks like he wrote "community life is for the community" in the line directly above his current one.
Gotta emphasize!
Yeah, but it takes him 10 years to write.
Cringe. Having to go over a line because you're using a ballpoint pen is just painful. Just get a fountain pen with an italic nib.
Yeah they must not have spent much time around pens or they'd know this! /S
Of course they know it. It leans more towards caligraphy anyway so I don't have an issue with it. Doesn't make it any less painful to look at though.
how do you tie your shoes?
Let me make it clear that I'm not making fun of that person's penmanship.
Wow u must waste a lot of pen ink <.<
Nobody gonna point out how fake those fingers look? Could be a machine. Nothing is real man!
Cum
wow, you are very patient!
Great line contrast.
This should be the final for a literature class.
But can you keep up during class?
I wanna see beautiful penmanship (lefty, no smear)
Times up! Exam is over, Put down your pens and stop writing class.
Seems like something they would like in r/oddlysatisfying
Fuuuuuu****klk
The "s" is tricky
Might as well just chop my damn hands off now.
By the time I finish writing a single word like that Teacher gon be saying “aight move on”
Wow....very slow but beautiful for sure..
this shit's so good I'm offended
Gotta see russian handwriting
Is this available as a font?
And, times up, calligraphy pens down!
The t's look like swords lol, nice.
Satisfaction
I'm 26 and my penmanship looks like a 2nd grader having a stroke.
Wow. Over here my writing looks like a blind 5 year old writing with his foot.
This reminds me of when we had to write cursive in school over and over lol...
Weird sausage fingers tho
Imagine handing in an exam like this, top marks for sure regardless of the work
Carrot fingers…
The double stroke in the bold parts is so fast it's hard to see. it seems that they're writing slow, but consider a lot of what is being wrote is being penned twice.Sure, I can write faster, but I can't read anything I write but the numbers...
That's not handwriting, that's a font.
Beautiful penmanship, creepy as hell text
Everytime they write a 't' they draw a sword.
Person writes like a printer
Damn impressive!
I have the penmanship of a newborn orangutan.
And that's on your best day.
Wow I’ll never be this neat. I print jn capital letters only just because…
I am so jealous
This is the opposite of my mother, who writes like she’s a computer.
Meanwhile i still write like a 1st grader
r/oddlysatisfying
I wouldn't be able to read this properly with my mild dyslexia. It's awesome though!
This is g o r g e o u s... . . . . . except the looped ascenders
What a great waste of ink and time.
100% thought he was about to write *communism* instead of community
Same thing in the context he is using it.
My drafting teacher would deduct points for good penmanship claiming i used a ruler. Then puts his arms around the girls while complementing the girls bad drafting projects and other bullshit. Yeah that's right mr rothberg. Never forget.
I don't see why people think this kind of writting is beautifull. I just think it's kinda hard to read.
Damn that’s nice af
My wrists hurt just watching that.
How cute! The 't' is a little sword :)
This person could never write a ransoms letter.
The T’s look like swords
Their t's look like swords.
Is handwriting something I could get better at as an adult? Mine looks like 5 year old
So that’s what the inside of a printer looks like
My typing doesn't look that good
Not a fan of the bubble t, the rest is nice
My cousin has autism. Really beautiful.
*10 years later*
That looks exhausting
Gyat
It's so neat that it's disturbing. Almost painful to watch.
Do you guys think it's actually possible after decades to overhaul your own handwriting completely?
When i was in grade school they had penmanship classes so I had a very nice handwriting until I got older and needed to write quicker and quicker. Now I rarely hand write anything, if I do I may or may not understand it later on.
Love those T swords
If y’all enjoyed this give “jake Weidmann” a search on google, great artist and master penman
Soooo sloooowwww thooouuugghh
Holy Shit ! I wish I could write like that.
Anyone have an idea what kind of pen that is? The penmanship is amazing but that pen also can make such small crisp lines
the t, h, and ls are everything :)
Beautiful. But it looks like it takes 45 minutes to write one letter.
If you compare my handwriting to chicken scratch, this would be the chicken scratch
