I wrote it with my tablet before (but I can't find the pen now ): ) Showing the different between my left hand (dominant) and right hand (self-taught).

I just wrote it. (: I like my pencils.

I've been told my handwriting's very neat. I'll post it later, when I can be bothered. :wink:

This counts, right?


Whoooa, I used to write like that all through high school! I made my own variation, and I never played that game of course.

I also have very variable handwriting.
This example is an intermediate between my neat handwriting and my messy handwriting. It's taken from my notebook.

By the way, that code language at the top is looks very cool and sophisticated.

Actually, that's legitimate Old English. Here's the Wikipedia article on the symbols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes

My handwriting too is very inconsistent. Sometimes i write very neatly, sometimes a bit sloppy. Half the time half the letters are printed and half are cursive. It all depends on the pen and how soft or hard the surface i write on is.

Whoa, I can't believe they used a real ancient language in a PC game. That is awesome.

Well, they weren't used in-game until, I think, Ultima V, and even then it was just the symbols being used for English words.
The map included with Ultima IV uses the symbols, which I could already read 8), but it's just English.

My notes, however, are in Old English.
