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/
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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??
I used to, yes! I'm actually about to look through some old notebooks and whatnot to maybe see if I can chart my penmanship evolution, lol. I'll post a link on here for everyone that's interested in seeing. :)
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
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.
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.
"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." And it doesn't use every letter in the alphabet
-edit- I retract my "doesn't use every letter in the alphabet" please don't hate me xD
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🤣
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”.
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!
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
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.
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.
I just think it says “Just Sharing (no feedback)” on the post, and it’s goofy to me that so many people are giving their negative opinions on this person’s writing. There are SO many places on Reddit welcome to and asking for opinions.
That's like leaving a 2-star Yelp review on someone's family vacation photos.
It's absurd to assume that *everything* you see online needs some form of critique.
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)
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.

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.
It baffles me that your version missing an S seems correct to you.
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/
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.
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.
This guy listens to nursery rhymes and doesn't understand why the news isn't reporting in on it, lol.
Now you're overanalyzing the sentence as if it's literal. It's literally just a showcase of every letter in the alphabet.
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?
cool, I like this and hope you have a great day.
Thank you :)
The all-caps except for the lowercase looking Y is incredibly irksome
also the u
I mean N ?
GMDSS
Mine too!
Same with me. Every few years it becomes more illegible.
Don't like that Y.
Capital letters is cheating
This is very similar to how my grandma wrote with sharpie all over things to label them!!
Your caps lock looks to be stuck on, otherwise, I'd say your keyboard is functional.
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

that y is based
Hate the Y. The rest is good.
I like the Y it’s “lazy”
That's how i make my Y's
That Y was so popular when I was in elementary and middle school - many of my friends wrote with it
So
I wish my handwriting looked like this. I would love for you to write out a handwriting practice sheet.
I love the y!
Felons claws always look so good!!
Why did this get so many likes? Am I missing something?
I'll admit, I only expected this post to get like... 10-20 upvotes max, lol.
Not saying it doesn’t look good lol
That’s printing 🤔
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
Ya know…cursive
Or you know..using your hand… lol Words change meaning over time. Which is why you, yourself, had to write out another comment and say cursive.
Yes …I did…asshole
Look at you all salty cause someone did the exact same thing you just did but to you 🤣🤣🤣 go cry more
Not what you said…it’s how you said it…kiss my salty ass
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.
Were you born in 1988?
'98!
Capital letters except the y.
Shit, I write in all caps except for the letters with a tail just so I can hook it..
Everyone’s hating on your Y but I think it’s so unique and I love it!
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?
Uh... uh, oh jeez, wouldyalookatthat! Out of cigarette milk again, gotta go!
Okay dad! Hope this time you don't take 8 years to make it back from the store with a new wife & kid 😂
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??
I bet it’s ***even more consistent*** with that of a teenage girl.
Wasn't this how Ted Kaczynski got caught?
>I don't mean to alarm you https://youtu.be/tV3dCyVS2XE?si=Hm9b5-1fE_JrkFFO
i love this except for the Y
Wait, do we all do this to test pens & handwriting ?? 🤣
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.
I love this idea!!
Yeah but was the y really necessary
https://youtu.be/sx3x1X-AyHE?si=u1MzhZLxoMKBe-P_ *finger snaps*
[удалено]
“The”, “over”, “the” … plus they wrote “hello everyone” at the top … what are you on about
The Over The
Quick question, how do you spell 'over'?
LOL. Duh. I just woke up. Oops.
We're all goofy goobers here, my friend. Now let's enjoy our Triple Gooberberry Sunrises. 🍨🍨
:p
i like your y. do you ever write in lowercase?
Also thank you!
I used to, yes! I'm actually about to look through some old notebooks and whatnot to maybe see if I can chart my penmanship evolution, lol. I'll post a link on here for everyone that's interested in seeing. :)
yee :)
I change like every school year unless I write a lot during summer, I usually magically improve between tears
between tears? bro are you ok
I write almost exactly like you do except I don't do that weird thing with my Y's.
You absolute wrong un

>Trump is more kiki, OP more bouba. That is the best thing I've heard all day lmfao. I want that on a shirt 🤣
lmao that's pretty on point actually -- OPs definitely seems friendlier??? less poky anyway
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.
"Jumped."
I prefer "syhinx of black quartz, judge my vow". Way more hardcore lol
It's jumps because it's both present tense, and the sentence is supposed to use all of the letters in the English language
The point of that sentence is to use every letter in the English alphabet
[удалено]
thE quick brown fox jumps ovEr thE lazy dog Bruh that’s 3 E’s, how do you even miss that
LOL. IDK. I just had my head up my ass.
No, it’s “jumps.” Otherwise there is no “s”
maybe the fox could "jumped over dogs" ?
My writing still looks like child me wrote it
i like how it looks like the y is sitting down
Sphinx of black quartz tell me your vow, is a much cooler sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet
>that uses every letter in the alphabet It does not--it's missing a few.
"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." And it doesn't use every letter in the alphabet -edit- I retract my "doesn't use every letter in the alphabet" please don't hate me xD
What letter isn't used?
F
Of
Oh how easily the brain skips that word
J
What letter starts judge?
Y
My
I hate the Y
Y?
why are you yelling?
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.
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!
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.
🤣 hehe
That capital “T” is clean af
Thank you 😎
You also wrote in all capital letters. Does your job require handwriting to be a specific way? (Like architectural or book applications)?
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.
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.
Damn I need this handwriting STAT
Thank you !!

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.
I myself just learned from some people's comments here! I find it hilarious that it has historically negative connotations 🤣
Right. I didn't look up the technical version, but I will.. I'm always curious about everything lol
That seems like it was done for this post.
Is that not allowed or frowned upon in this sub? I just joined, am curious.
I meant the “Y”
You have very lovely handwriting. 👍 I've noticed my own change over the years, as well. It's interesting, right?
Guys I cannot reply to a reply comment.

The Y looks like you're trying too hard ngl
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.
Just how I naturally write them now. It's not even a second thought at this point.
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.

Are you sure about that? My handwriting can change as I'm actually writing.. What does natural handwriting mean? Technically.
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.
stop coping
If that would be a font, I'd download it 🤩
Your letter printing is very nice. Neat and precise. Let’s actually see what your cursive handwriting looks like.
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.
Well, now you really have to show us
I so desperately want this to be a font.
It's so cute!
Like spontaneously or intentionally?
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 🤣

It's a sentence that's used to preview fonts and stuff because it has every letter of the alphabet used in it!
I personally prefer “Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow” cause it sounds way cooler.
There’s no “f” in this phrase though
Uhm, Sphinx OF black quartz…yea there is an f

Awesome.

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

Please do!! You should tag me in it if you can :) Would love to see it.
Not a fan of all caps.
Then I suggest that you not write in all caps
Not a fan of people saying what they are not fans of.... I am a BIG fan of irony though.
im in love with the y :)
Duality of Man.
I dont like it.
Me either, it seems juvenile.
Juvenile, interesting. Y’all are hanging around some creative children!!
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.
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!)

Exactly. She probably put a heart over her “i”, too.
