It being the holiday season, I felt compelled to write some thank you cards. I was shocked to see how terrible my handwriting has become, both script and print. I'm a techie in my late twenties and wanted to see if I am the only one who's handwriting quality has been impacted.
Partly from lack of practice but also from RSI which gives me cramps :(
EDIT: I'm in my twenties too
OTOH, I find that the kinds of pen & paper I use have a significant effect on the quality of my handwriting.
yes - a lot. Partly from lack of practice but also from RSI which gives me cramps :( EDIT: I'm in my twenties too

I was in that same position about a year ago. On a whim, I decided I'd try one of those split keyboards and it helped enormously. I hated it for about a week (typos), but then I adjusted and the pain is gone.
Although the major sourceo f my problem comes from using a laptop on my knees.. so :(
On the other hand, I do all my brainstorming and to-do lists on paper (and occasionally whiteboard), so I don't think I'll ever be completely out of practice.
I think more than a few of us start typing so early that it's hard to separate the two. OTOH, I find that the kinds of pen & paper I use have a significant effect on the quality of my handwriting.
