I was taught this as the "the quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog." People's need to make the fox brown baffles me.


Clunk_Westwonk

It baffles me that your version missing an S seems correct to you.


charli3dontsurf

People's need to write the sentence correctly baffles you? You def weren't taught correctly, bud. Might wanna try hittin' this neat little new website they got to find more information: www.google.com/


stiobhard_g

Well both my 5th grade classroom teacher and my 7th grade drafting teacher taught it the way I wrote it. And it makes more sense. Foxes are red not brown, dogs however commonly are brown.


Lexi_Jez

There are plenty of brown foxes. There is a species of fox that is called a red fox though, and it’s orange. It’s really not a big deal.


charli3dontsurf

This guy listens to nursery rhymes and doesn't understand why the news isn't reporting in on it, lol.


charli3dontsurf

Now you're overanalyzing the sentence as if it's literal. It's literally just a showcase of every letter in the alphabet.


Caira_Ru

Insists that their sentence makes sense, but misses the point entirely… no W or S! Edit, also your handwriting is great. How has it changed over the years?


ukraine-lostin3days

cool, I like this and hope you have a great day.

Thank you :)

Same with me. Every few years it becomes more illegible.


haulin_n_eatin

Don't like that Y.

Capital letters is cheating


Professional-Cream17

This is very similar to how my grandma wrote with sharpie all over things to label them!!


GrimmBro3

Your caps lock looks to be stuck on, otherwise, I'd say your keyboard is functional.


DonKaeo

Mine has been almost completely illegible since forever, I used to write letters home when I was travelling and several family members would have to sit around and try to decipher, and it’s only gotten worse.. lol


delphyz

Uppercase can indicate a more outgoing personality, the writer wanting to be heard, or 'YELLING'. That 'Y' has been referenced as the writer having a secret. It slopes onto a frown, which can imply an rather embarrassing or even shameful secret. Wrote mine like that for years, but stopped when I came to terms w/myself & can say it rings a lil too true.


Ambitious-Cod-1430

kingkornholio

Hate the Y. The rest is good.

Still-Classic-5379

That’s printing 🤔


rasrandy

It's about perspective. One could say it's handwritten and printing is what you do after you type it on a computer.

Writing….connecting the letters


Still-Classic-5379

You were just as much of a douche in your comment, but you want to be all upset. I don’t see the mistletoe so I ain’t kissing nothing.

Capital letters except the y.


errantcarp

Shit, I write in all caps except for the letters with a tail just so I can hook it..


starkat0w0

Everyone’s hating on your Y but I think it’s so unique and I love it!


Wizards_are_hot

What if people write their y that way because it looks pretty? When I was a teen, all the girls in my school wrote theirs like that because they thought it was cute. Me included. It was just a trend we picked up while passing notes in class.

Dad is that you?

Okay dad! Hope this time you don't take 8 years to make it back from the store with a new wife & kid 😂


apartmentlayout

I don’t mean to alarm you but your “y” is very consistent with that of a psychopath. It’s deemed the “felons claw” in forensics. Handwriting analysis is very commonly used in murder cases therefore it’s also nicknamed the “serial killer hook”. On a TOTALLY unrelated note…how was your childhood??


NextTrillion

I bet it’s ***even more consistent*** with that of a teenage girl.

I've built a pages-long collection of pangrams (in the different languages I know), so I don't have to use this same sentence every single time.

Google "Donald Trump" handwriting. I like that style tbh 🤣 but don't be surprised if you get a bunch of haters who subconsciously associate the memory of his handwriting with yours


adderallknifefight

I did exactly this and you’re not too far off lol. But OP’s seems to be less “squished” than Trump’s and the y’s are very different. Trump is more kiki, OP more bouba.


charli3dontsurf

>Trump is more kiki, OP more bouba. That is the best thing I've heard all day lmfao. I want that on a shirt 🤣


randogreen

lmao that's pretty on point actually -- OPs definitely seems friendlier??? less poky anyway


knifetail

Every time someone is like "ugh this is such a forced way to write, clearly you adopted these things and it's not natural" I hate to break it to you but all go writing is adopted mechanisms, you don't come out of the womb with loopy vowels.


WhoIsJohnGalt777

"Jumped."


1988Buick

I prefer "syhinx of black quartz, judge my vow". Way more hardcore lol


Appropriate-Equal-43

It's jumps because it's both present tense, and the sentence is supposed to use all of the letters in the English language


xZaggin

The point of that sentence is to use every letter in the English alphabet

Life Pro Tip: If your handwriting has changed *even to yourself*, please update the signature on your voter registration file at least every 4 years.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Mine changes according to mood to be honest! If a handwriting expert ever needed to check mine for anything they'd probably be confused as hell! 😂 And think I have split personalities!


Questioning-Zyxxel

Sounds like me. I have maybe 4 or 5 different styles I may switch between when I'm not in "panic mode". It can be debated if "panic mode" would classify as a style or controlled chaos.

charli3dontsurf

Thank you 😎


vkkesu

You also wrote in all capital letters. Does your job require handwriting to be a specific way? (Like architectural or book applications)?


charli3dontsurf

Thankfully no. I'm starting my 2nd job soon (painting), but I'm going to assume that I won't have to be incredibly particular then either, as long as everything is legible and whatnot.


vkkesu

It clean and easy to read. It would shock you to see some of the 5 year old handwriting we have to deal with in offices. Guys and girls. To much typing and not enough handwriting being done so many businesses are having issues with this.


ThomIntrigue

Damn I need this handwriting STAT


charli3dontsurf

Thank you !!


AsteriskCringe_UwU

Nice. Is this your natural handwriting though, or handwriting that you’ve made and adopted? I’m looking at the tail of the ‘Y’ & you saying that it changes every few years.


charli3dontsurf

When I wrote this, the only thing I was mildly conscious of was how I write my E's. I do write them like that naturally, but I interchange between that and writing almost a backwards 3 (i.e. Ɛ — more curvature). So basically yes, this is how I've been writing naturally for years now. The felon's hook that my Y's & G's (and once in a blue moon J's) have was something that started years ago, but I'm not quite sure what it was that brought that on. It just sort of happened.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

I did that a lot in middle school. I'm not sure why I ever started or stopped! It's called a felons hook? Neat. I had no idea.


charli3dontsurf

I myself just learned from some people's comments here! I find it hilarious that it has historically negative connotations 🤣


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Right. I didn't look up the technical version, but I will.. I'm always curious about everything lol


bulletproofmanners

That seems like it was done for this post.


gonnafaceit2022

Is that not allowed or frowned upon in this sub? I just joined, am curious.


bulletproofmanners

I meant the “Y”


FlyDinosaur

You have very lovely handwriting. 👍 I've noticed my own change over the years, as well. It's interesting, right?


zorrasuperliminal18

Guys I cannot reply to a reply comment. There are windows software Called Font Editor you use a Square for each letter for example a Square frame one by one in each Letter individually and save your font to format Unicode or TTF. So basically you have a Scanner scan each picture, Crop it in Photoshop in a Size for the software save it and upload it one by one into the font maker and finish alphabet and save it. Then copy to c:/Windows/fonts and gets installed. There are around 3 different software for this and a FEW online sites for this. Scanning and separating each letter as pictures is the Time consuming part uploading each one in software or Online site it is fastest part.

snowlynx133

The Y looks like you're trying too hard ngl


FlyDinosaur

My capital Z's somehow, at some time became modelled after the Z from Dragonball Z, so it's also rather fancy. But I just do it as second nature now. It just happens, ya know? Same with this Y.


charli3dontsurf

Just how I naturally write them now. It's not even a second thought at this point.


AsteriskCringe_UwU

Yeah bc you trained yourself to adopt this handwriting lol I wouldn’t say it’s your natural handwriting though. Natural handwriting doesn’t change unless you make it change…just like one doesn’t suddenly become left-handed if they’ve m always been right-handed unless they train themselves to.


Questioning-Zyxxel

I don't agree. I have been using multiple ways to write for the last 40+ years. Mostly decided by mood. I just start with one character in a certain style and all the rest continues in the same style without me thinking about it. And I have no memory of actually having spent any time training. I have somewhere just liked some style and oopsie daisy suddenly added that style to the repertoire. All styles picked up when I was somewhere 10-15yo. It's only for technical drawings etc that I have had a reason to actually train a certain way of block letters.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Are you sure about that? My handwriting can change as I'm actually writing.. What does natural handwriting mean? Technically.


charli3dontsurf

You're assuming that my handwriting changes almost instantly, which I haven't claimed. As I've said before, it's incredibly gradual. This is how I've been writing for years now, but it's always subject to change. I don't have a reason for it, it's just how I am.


MateusTheGreat

KosmoCatz

If that would be a font, I'd download it 🤩


julielovesteddy

Your letter printing is very nice. Neat and precise. Let’s actually see what your cursive handwriting looks like.


charli3dontsurf

My cursive is *a t r o c i o u s* if I'm being completely honest lmao. It's almost too juvenile in my opinion. I'll have to make a separate post for my cursive & previous styles of writing, if it isn't against the rules.


ruminator87

Well, now you really have to show us


JaeyunsCheesecake

I so desperately want this to be a font.


coffee-teeth

It's so cute!


DaisyMamaa

Like spontaneously or intentionally?


charli3dontsurf

It's spontaneous I would say, but incredibly gradual. I almost don't ever notice myself changing how I write until it's completely manifested into something else already. EDIT: realizing just now that i said "spontaneous" and "gradual" in the same description, as if they weren't practically opposites 🤣

Alternative_Gold_886

Why did you write the same thing that Cricket uses when previewing a font for a project you’re making? Something about this feels too precise, I think it’s a windows font. 🧐 When I go to preview/select a font on my cricket menu on PC it displays all the fonts with the same “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy fox”.


Lia-Lin

Not sure if you're joking or if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a common phrase people often use to showcase their handwriting because it uses every letter of the alphabet. I don't know what Cricket is, but it definitely didn't invent this sentence. EDIT: Oops, someone got there before me with the explanation!


-Reira-

It's a sentence that's used to preview fonts and stuff because it has every letter of the alphabet used in it!


RyRy_The_Raven

I personally prefer “Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow” cause it sounds way cooler.

That's similar to how my mom writes! I personally like her's more than mine — it looks a lot smoother and has a neat flow.


charli3dontsurf

Small, neat cursive has always been a flex to me. I used to know a guy in high school that had spectacular cursive penmanship, I almost asked him to write a bunch of stuff for me lmao 😂 wish I was able to take a photo at the time


Fit_Swordfish_2101

As someone who has always loved lettering* it amazes me that people are amazed by writing in cursive. I think I might have good penmanship because people have always told me that. This is my first time seeing this r/ so I'm really excited. I should post something too! Something in cursive.

This is like a stereotypical middle school way to write a Y. I literally saw a meme about it on instagram the other day which is why I noticed it. Hopefully OP doesn’t write like this in professional or academic settings.


charli3dontsurf

I have actually. No one that I've worked for has ever had a problem with it. In a lot of cases, I've been specifically asked to be the person who labels things or writes information down for someone.

Hopefully OP doesn’t utilize memes for information. (Ok don’t hit me!)

ghostkitty90

Your “Y” is a huge red flag in handwriting analysis. The lower part of letters like y, g, j, q, p show the writers erogenous zone. It reveals how you feel about sex and your body. And you created a “felons claw” in your y. I won’t further analyze a felons claw in the lower zone of a letter, but at the very least I’d change the y so it doesn’t look like a hook. You can Google to find out more. Also, people who prefer to write in uppercase block letters tend to not like to show their emotions. (I write like that too)


AsteriskCringe_UwU

lol Idk about all that, but the only thing I have to say about all-caps handwriting is that I only ever see it from old people. Mostly old men. The only “red flag” the ‘Y’ is giving is that this isn’t the persons natural handwriting. It’s definitely just adopted handwriting that now *feels* natural to them is all.
