@onishojo9430 4 года назад

Fun fact! Doctors use something called shorthand to make writing multiple perscriptions and receipts more efficiently, nurses and pharmacists are trained to read it

@Silvermouse27 4 года назад

Penmanship has less to do with laziness or competence and more to do with time pressure. I’m a doctor, would you rather me spend time perfecting my handwriting (which is actually neat) or look after my patients?

@Silvermouse27 4 года назад

@Evelyn Rivera Garcia Definitely! For example ‘SH2 # P1 L) LF’ means ‘Salter Harris 2 fracture of the proximal phalanx of the left little finger’. So much more efficient! Makes sense to our hand therapists but complete gobbledygook to anyone else!

@safala 3 года назад

It’s certainly not impossible, especially if you are trained from an early age to write a specific kind of handwriting, but for a lot of us, especially of we just take our own handwriting and improve it with age (my case), the ‘design’ of letters we use changes with words or with our mood.

@livia8126 4 года назад

My teacher always told my class that good handwritings come through practice ✍🏻 A tip for beginners is to practice writing on the lined notebooks while noticing the capital line, middle line, and base line. Next, practice your neat handwriting as often as possible! When the muscle memory develops, you will write neat handwritings effortlessly ✨ Practice makes perfect. Hope this helps!

what you said about how a writing utensil can help you write neater is so true! I remember using only pencils for school because our teacher did not allow pens because "they bleed through the paper" or something like that (which is not true) and when our new teacher let us use pens, my handwriting changed dramatically from messy and big (and I also got a lot of hand cramps from the wooden pencils) to neat and small (no more hand cramps because of the grip on a gel pen 🙂). So if you're not happy with your handwriting, change your writing utensil! 🙂😉🖊

yooooo that's how i hold my pen too! i've always felt like i had more control over it with a vulcan grip lol and i think now that my muscle memory is tuned to that grip i would have less control holding it "properly"; i think the more important thing in reducing hand cramps is to not death-grip the pen, but hold it loosely enough.

@adorabell4253 4 года назад

Fun thing: the traditional pen hold (tripod on middle finger) was developed for the dip and fountain pen. The 45 or so degree angle that you get is great for letting the ink flow out smoothly with the minimum of pressure needed. Modern ballpoint, gel, fineliner, etc, pens will work better in an upright grip as it will put the pen tip in best contact with the paper. But, due to history, we are all taught a grip that fights modern pens. So, use whatever grip works best for you unless you want to write with a fountain pen, then practice the traditional grip for best results.

What a difference when you slow down … It as lovely I could tell a little bit you where getting kinda of tried…I would too . But you pull yourself up and press on . Loved it! Its amazing how different your writing looks compare too the way you usually write. I think we are al that way we try and start off nice note then note taking in college is hard especially when the professor is talking fast. I have never tried a fountain pen I am a bit afraid I would make a mess with the pen . But maybe I will try it out . Thank you for sharing ❤️
