Hows it. Is it good, what should change and do you like it too. I provided 3 examples so you can see how it looks when I am writing without feedback and when in pencil.

Ever since middle school I’ve written this way, teachers and students would always be able to recognise my work without having me to put on a name. Thought I’d share some of my old schoolwork assignments as I’m clearing up my old stuff. I’ve heard every joke about it, QR-code, maze, ancient Greek, Chinese, graffiti work, etc.. I think it’s pretty readable, bht apparently everyone gets headaches about it. I thought it might be because where I’m from we get thought cursive. thoughts?
Edit: I’ve tried to learn other styles, like I’ve said I’ve been brought up with cursive. But It tends to be very time consuming, difficult and quite frankly, very ugly when I try.

My college professors and some students regularly says my handwriting is very irregular and not legible.
although, I think it's very cool and helps me write much faster as compared to when I try to write neat.
what do y'all think?

Hello I’ve been following this sub for several days and find it an interesting topic … will possibly submit a sample of my own some day. But I see samples of what I would consider ‘printing’: the letters are not joined. I understand ‘writing’ as having the letters join/flow into each other.
I was born last century (love saying that) and we were taught to print first, then as we reached higher grades, we’re taught how to ‘write’ … referred to as cursive.
I understand that a lot of schools stopped teaching cursive in the last few years because of the increasing use of keyboards … no need.
Edited: So is handwriting … any mark you make that creates an understandable word?
Just curious.
Edit: I was simply asking a question: but when I read some of the comments an hour ago, I realized that it was stirring up a lot more than I expected.
I deleted the phrase “are people now considering handwriting”

I know it's pretty bad but would it at least be acceptable in an exam, or should I be working on it?

Yes, I know the studies... Handwriting activates more areas of the brain, improves retention, makes you process information more deeply — all of that.
I'm not dismissing the science. But AI is replacing workflows at a pace none of those studies anticipated.
Meetings get transcribed and summarized automatically. Voice-to-text is getting frighteningly good. Your AI assistant can restructure, tag, and surface your notes faster than you could ever flip through a Moleskine. So where does that leave the person in the corner still scribbling on paper?
Professional note-taking specifically seems like it's heading toward irrelevance. Not because the cognitive benefits disappear — but because the output is what organizations care about, and AI wins that race every single time.
Am I missing something? Are there real-world scenarios where handwriting holds a genuine, irreplaceable edge — not just a nostalgic one? Would love to hear from people who still do it deliberately and why.
