Fascinating Fonts...

One aspect in our school life which breaks us or makes us is our handwriting. The very formation of our letters can become a structure of our own personality for the teachers checking our work. Be it a study-whiz or a mediocre student, poor handwriting always proves to be the Achilles’ heel of the student’s shining career ahead. Following are some of the most bizarre handwritings which teachers face while correcting the notebooks of the children.

The Confused One
This is the writing which is the most messed up. Innumerable cuttings, blots of correction ink and dog ears, characterise the child’s notebook. Usually this writing is an amalgamation of confused vocabulary and dangling grammar. The student just can’t make up his/her mind as to what he/she is about to write and so this confusion is created. A major headache for the teacher.

Deceptive Letters
This is extremely common between the cursive writing strata. Although the work is completed in a jiffy, some poor letters are left aloof in their quest of proving themselves. An ‘a’ there can be easily misunderstood as an ‘o’ due to their stark similarity while writing in cursive. This is certainly a mind-boggling challenge for the teachers as they can’t decipher even one word correctly.

BFG’s Quilt
Harking to the folks whose handwritten alphabets are akin to the size of giants. This gigantic mountain of alphabets is too steep for a teacher’s pen to correct. Although the work is all legible and fine, it is the size of the alphabets that can daze the teachers.

The Cryptic Microscopic Writing
Guests should be treated like Gods but who wants to see Tom Thumb’s relatives on a sheet of paper? This writing style is of the students who throttle the nip of the pen and write teeny-meany alphabets which can fail any electronic microscope. This writing has been the arch-rival of school teachers ever since it has stepped on this planet.

Italics Frenzy
After the long piles of straight, erect handwriting, italics can be refreshing, but if the writing is sliding way too much, something is really wrong. Usually the alphabets formed in this kind of handwriting tend to slide on either sides. This is no less than a dazing roller-coaster ride for the teachers.

No matter how bad or good the handwriting of the students may be, there are some incorrigible, unapologetic people who wish to continue their font, justifying it to be unique. Fortunately, there are some good souls who reform and part ways with illegible handwriting to write a better fate for themselves.
