My university sent me a signed paper. The signature was the ugliest, handwritten, version of a name. It was like a child signing their name for the very first time.

I am so happy, I am not alone with that problem. Thank you, university administrator, for sharing my plight.

Oh, i had to sign for a letter last Saturday. The guy pushed me a pen and the paper in hand and i really felt uncomfortable to write something. I've told him, I only sign something three or four times a year :P It was never a talent of mine to begin with. A while ago I wanted to raise my church donation, that's done on paper that gets picked up later, I had no pen in house, and I live here for around two years.

@retoor My handwriting has been steadily declining after college.

Many hours of working w/ keyboard, mouse, && other peripherals, while having very little need for actual writing nowadays.

@D-4got10-01 I think we should depricate (fuck, never wrote that word appearantly and no auto complete for it. I'm so fucked now.) pens. If you want to sign something, do it in graffiti, else it's just not important enough. My signature is so inconsistent, I would've been better off just drawing a house with a autistic dog next to it every time. Speaking balloon with "Woef!" everything.

@retoor Ah, deprecation - right. One of my fav words. Yeah... when I saw my own signature when renewing apartment lease, damn... WTF is that?

Handwriting is very out of practice on my end. Superseded by typing on keyboards ;-) .

I'm pretty sure StackOverflow would say 'Pens && handwriting are no longer considered best practice.' + downvote.

I got into the habit of using a reMarkable. My handwriting went up. But it was never good and still isn't.
