I never hand write letters because my handwriting totally sucks.

I know it's a going to be a bit of a biased result coming from a computer tech forum but hey, you never know...

Assumng this is in response to the thank you letter thread, I assumed he meant he would type and print, then mail it, as I suggested. Obviously in the business world, it is not professional to ACTUALLY hand write something.

I used to work in our Customer Service department in which we would sometimes receive handwritten requests to review assessments.

The only handwritten letters I have ever seen are from a) the elderly or b) someone too poor to afford a computer or the means to access one.

 

[bleeb]

never really... it's all via email.

Yeah your response got me thinking about it, but this thread wasn't directed towards you or that thread. Consider it totally independent of that

 

[EyeMWing]

Never, tard (unless it's from a customer), *I* can't even read it

 

[tami]

Wow that's rough!

 

[nakedfrog]

Never
I'd wonder why they wrote it out, but wouldn't think more or less of them, I'd just be puzzled
Crap handwriting (I blame this on Nebraska school systems forcing me to switch from being left-handed to right-handed)

Gotcha.

I get handwritten bids from subcontractors all the time. At this point I'm glad they have a fax machine, becuase there are still a lot of them that don't. :|

I'm sure most of you who have been through college have had classes where the professor allows you to have a small cheat sheet where you can only have as much content as you can physical fit on the given piece of paper, right? Like maybe a statistics class where you have a index card and can have as many formulas as you can fit? We had alot of those kind of professors in my college and me and some of my friends developed such a tiny handwriting that we can fit practically any piece of information we could possible need on those little cards. What's funny is to this day those friends and I still write like that.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Never

Retarded

my handwriting is much worse then "Looks like a child's handwriting/Hard to read it unless you're me."

 

[sswingle]

Writing makes my hand hurt

 

[DnetMHZ]

I don't write letters period.

 

[bigrash]

Never

when I was younger, I went to a NYC Catholic school and they had penmanship classes. When I moved to the suburbs they didn't have such a thing and in 6th grade, everyone got an "award" for their own special thing. Mine was "best penmanship". If you saw my penmanship today, you'd probably say "how the hell did that happen?" Damned computers.

 

[Anubis]

i write by hand so little that i have forgotten how to write the letters that arnt in my name in cursive

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

If I got a handwritten letter I would think that
A) Whatever is being sent is not a priority, or it would have been emailed
B) Whoever sent it has too much time on my hands
C) I'm hoping that they have a legible hand writing.

I personally wouldn't send a handwritten letter because my handwriting looks like chicken scratch and would be difficult to read for most. Also, I don't have time to waste on hand-writng especially that if you write such a letter to impress someone any mistake means you have to scrap the paper and start the whole thing over.

The only thing that looks good in my handwriting is my signature.
