My 3rd grader has to write all of her assignments in cursive for the rest of the year... she was practicing her uppercase letters, and asking me "how do you do a ___? " for many of them.

I've been writing my own way for so long, I couldn't remember how some of them should be...

E

H

K

Q I have no idea

X

Isn't a Q like a 2??

I remember how to make them all, but I don't use all of them the "standard" way.

That's a great site!

yup (but rarely do!)

Since I was a kid, I felt I was destined to be a professional artist and draftsman,
so beginning back then, and all the way to this day,
I write exclusively in CAPS

My mom still writes in a perfect cursive hand

All my writing is nearly like the 'standard' letters that you posted, Molly. All but the Q..

I guess so! Except for Q, the other ones I wasn't sure about were like I thought... but I didn't realize I had Z wrong!

I never, ever write anything in cursive- my signature is just a scribble!

Z looks like a wigged-out 3!

For some reason, my handwriting is a cursive / print combo... but relatively neat if I try.

And some of my favorite people write in all caps!

That will come in handy for the keet! Thanks so much!

Many do, but perhaps you should take that up with Zero..

Took the pic myself, from outside my door.
It may sound cliché... but here in SD... there really IS a palm tree almost everywhere you turn!

I thought the same thing, Mol. I never could understand why the Q had to look like a 2! Needless to say, I never wrote it like that!

I have a pretty handwriting, when I take the time....although most of the time some words start out in print and end up in cursive.

Yup--most of the letters look similar to the printed ones, but the Q???
Whose idea what that?
