Has Typing Ruined Your Handwriting?

I know typing has ruined my handwriting. As I used the computer more and more my writing has gotten worse and worse. How about you guys?

I don't write too much, unless I'm writing notes, so it's taken a really big turn. I do write a lot differently, but it's legible IF I write slow.

No. When I was in the 9th grade, before I had a computer, my civics teacher told me I had the handwriting of a serial killer.

I haven't really followed up to see if that's true or not, but my handwriting has been pretty awful for my entire life. I consider it kind of a flowing chickenscratch.

It's hard to say. I've been typing pretty much my entire life, so I don't know if I can pinpoint it as being the cause of any changes in my handwriting.

My handwriting has gotten a lot better in the past few years, though. It's actually legible!

Not at all.

Not really. But my handwriting hasn't improved at all since third grade, so....

Typing hasn't had any influence on my hand writing, as I probably write as much as I type during an average day.

My handwriting has always combined the worst aspects of a celebrity's and that of a little kid just learning cursive. But if I didn't spend so much time typing, I guess I could learn Italic.

My handwriting has never been nice, so can't say it's been ruined, but hasn't improved either..

I have really bad handwrtiting, and typing has only made thing easier for my teachers, it hasnt changed my writing at all.

Eh. I don't know. I can't really compare, as my handwriting has always been less than great. Maybe, maybe not. *Shrugs*

My handwriting was already pretty bad to begin with so I think typing has improved my writing.

My handwriting is unworsenable anyway.

I don't think mine's changed a whole lot but I do get impatient when handwriting since I can type much, much faster.

Nah. When it comes to essays and such, I handwrite them (just to annoy my teachers, cos my handwriting's tiny :roflol:

) but if I have to use a computer to do a bit of typing, then I will.

However, it's really hard to pinpoint what exactly made my handwriting change. At first it was huge. Now it's tiny... o_O
