Who else bad handwriting here? Can you really fix poor penmanship

Hm, I dunno -- but I'd hazard a guess that improving penmanship is somewhere in the fucking wheelhouse of human capability.

I mean mine has improved somewhat, but was always not great. Elementary school teachers used to say it wasn't an issue worth addressing, as, "everything would be typed in the future." I feel like I was cheated and robbed.

People with exceptionally messy handwriting, to the point where no one else can even make out what they're writing, are autistic. Even worse is when they disgrace a book by scribbling their disgusting notes in it.

What kind of terrible elementary school did you go to? Mine taught us cursive in 2nd grade and cared deeply about how readable our handwriting was. Then again, I did go to a private school.

There are "hand-writers" who get tired and hurt themselves, and get butthurt halfway through an answer. Then there are "shoulder writers" which if they can do it properly have aesthetic handwriting. People who don't "hand-write" but haven't figured out (or don't have) the neurons to "shoulder write" are just plain unaesthetic, even if they have talent.

been stalking this thread for over an hour now, can someone actually give advice on how to improve handwriting?

Stop jerking it.

Quit gripping your writing utensil so hard. Actually attempt to write neater. A lot of your bad habits are just habits and can be broken with purposeful correction. Get some printer paper and a pencil and practice it out. Also stop being a slob.

Practise.
I spent 20 mins a day for like three weeks past summer working on my handwriting - found a style online that I liked, copied letter by letter and repeated until I could do it relatively fast. First lines of aaaa, bbbb etc, then copying passages from books (extra literary gains as well).
You can do it, brah.

Yes.

>[...] what are the best means of improving it?

I had poor handwriting during middle and high school. High school teacher told me that my handwriting was "chicken scratch" (in front of the class). I went home and started to teach myself calligraphy from a book; I practiced almost everyday for a month, and improved my handwriting legibility exponentially.

tldr: "Practice makes better."

I've been studying Korean & started writing long hand again. I was fucking disgusted by my shitty English notes, so I made an effort to slow down & write properly. If I fucked a word up even a bit I crossed that shit out & fucking rewrote it. About two weeks later (1hr a day at lunchtimes workdays only), it was fixed.

I improved mine greatly using this pdf:

It teaches you the italic handwriting that Icelandic children learn in school.
