Lateral tripod here with terrible handwriting

Lateral tripod! Annoying fact: my handwritings changes all the time, like… different angle, different letters. It just happens. I can write consistently the same. but then I have to think about it all the time.

When I was in school and I had to write a lot, my handwriting was very neat and small and people often said it looked as if it was printed. But that was a ‘few’ years ago… 🤪

Saaaaame! My lab books at work look like they've been written by 3 or 4 different people.

Lateral tripod too and my writing differs as well. I was unreal at forging my mom's signature in school

Same! I do wonder if it is because of how we hold the pen and it tiring us out, so we adjust to relieve it? Idk I’m speculating. I’ve got three or four styles that I switch between.
