I used to try and emulate my grandpa's handwriting. He had such beautiful handwriting that he actually developed by working on calligraphy when he was younger. He did engraving, jewelry work, and so on. He could write multipage letters with beautiful, flourishing, but uniform handwriting on every page. I actually did develop some of his handwriting traits but never to the perfection he had.

Five years ago I typed maybe 70 wpm, but I got to the point in my transcription job that I just just fly over the keyboard and I usually type test from 90-96 WPM now. I type so much I actually wear out keyboards every couple years, the keys wear down and eventually get holes in them .

If I just write a few words or fill out a check, my writing tends to look pretty good. But if I try to write a letter nowdays it usually ends up looking pretty bad LOL.
