How's your handwriting?

[spix14]

Quaggy. As in, "My Bp's water bowl looks quaggy after he takes a poo in it." Lol.

Quaggy. As in like a quagmire or a low marsh or watery swamp area....LOL

I am a bear at Scrabble.

Edit: I see you looked it up or knew the answer.. LOL good job..

Ok Word of the day "Quaggy"

I LOVE Scrabble!! I always beat everyone in my family!!!!

Pretty darn good, but I can't write in cursive...

My handwriting use to suck and then I took a course that retaught me how to wright and even hold the pen. I took me years of practice and relearning to get it right. I mean it took 18 years for my writing to get that bad so it took another 8 for it to improve.

How good is your vocabulary?

*P.s. I'm at 3000 rice grains, but only at the 36th level.

Hey that's pretty cool. I got to 1000 grains and level 44. Very neat!

[amystours]

A very slight loop, neat, precise, perfectly formed letters, uniform in size. What's so scary about it is that it's the EXACT SAME as my mother's handwriting. I was brought up to "do it nice or do it twice", and I guess it sort of stuck around. I'm a sucker for spelling, too. Guess that's what happens when you are raised by a schoolteacher.

As for printing??? FORGET it!! My 7 year old can print WAYYY better than I can.

Oh, and I'm no artist, at ALL. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler! No musical talent...(can't carry a tune in a bucket), etcetera....lmao

Good job Judy! I played that thing for a half an hour one day and I would keep working my way back up to 36, and get some off the wall word like antidisestablishmentarianism.

Ok,

I'm going to have to block that site if I am ever to get any work done - seriously good find.

Went as far as 2000 grains of rice at level 47 before I noticed I was getting hooked.

Oh and my handwriting looks like the pen exploded and frightened a drunken spider. It used to be very neat but very small but when I was made to write at a larger size it came out looking horrible.

My handwriting gets worse and worse as I get older. It used to be very neat and tidy. Now my brain wants to write faster than my hand can keep up (I'm used to typing pretty fast, I guess).

Both my older children have atrocious handwriting, and my youngest (in Kinder) looks to be following in their footsteps. I found out that they don't even try to teach any sort of penmanship in schools now, because so much of what kids are growing up into is keyboarding (it's not even called "typing" anymore!) so they don't "have to know" how to write legibly.

Same thing with spelling...which I was quite horrified to find out. More and more schools are getting away from enforcing any sort of correct spelling or even teaching spelling because "everything" has "spell check" in it now. How utterly wrong is that???

That's scary! I love my son's second grade teacher. She used to teach 5th and really pushes our children to write in journals everyday. Heck, one of their spelling words this week is Ichthyosaurus. (ok, that's just a bonus word but STILL!!!)

Oo, Mister fancy pants! You hold the record so far in this thread. I know I've wasted too much time on that site as well. I'm going to have to bring a dictionary next time I play.
