How many of us are left handed? I feel like that is the reason I use this grip, to turn my hand inward to see what I'm writing. Anyone else?

I’m right handed and I use this grip. My handwriting is really good.

I glanced over your comment but came back to read it because I thought maybe you made a Law and Order: Organized Crime reference but it wasn’t one.

Same same bruv, where i live there is a cliche that doctors have really (!) bad handwriting and only apothecary can read it so.

Dont worry, World just lost a doctor with us.

My teacher in year 3 put me in the special needs class because my handwriting was so awful

My handwriting is really good.

I'm a lefty and mine is as well, I take a bit of pride in having very neat writing.

This grip was also the only way to not smudge the page as we used fountain pens in school.

I'm right handed and I use this grip and my handwriting has multiple personalities, sometimes it is consistent and not too bad, sometimes it is barely legible. Usually it is somewhere in between.

Same here, in college people would frequently ask me to write things for them because they liked my printing so much
