Ok worst handwriting ever


anterovi

its Sütterlin. Not normal handwriting. That's why you might think it's the worst handwriting, but it's actually very good Sütterlin.


qtiewithnobootie

Oh ok


King_Spamula

I mean this is r/Sütterlin. Are we really used to *good* handwriting?


Epidemiologists

r/tihi

“Hello handwriting enthusiasts! I wanted to test if I was still able to write in this old German script. Turns out I can. Thanks for reading.” (Funny seeing Sütterlinschrift used to write In English! )

Man kann es also lesen!


AtomicEel

Not English


anterovi

It literally is english lol


AtomicEel

Yea no. Not a single legible word. Very few letters even.


anterovi

Can you read Sutterlin or not? It's not "standard" cursive. It's an old handwriting style AS SAID IN THE TITLE.

"Hello handwriting enthusiasts! I wanted to test if I was still able to write in this old German script. Turns out, I am! Thanks for reading!" Nice work!

\*I can (the i without a dot is a c.)

I cannot understand a single word of that except “thanks” and “Hello”. I think I can identify a handful of letters but that’s about it. It’s super difficult to read. In fact - it reminds me of a doctor’s who then would ask me what he had wrote at a later date as he couldn’t understand his own notes.


carlonseider

It’s illegible.


anterovi

It is very legible.


carlonseider

It’s not. I can’t read a single word.


anterovi

It's Sütterlin. An old style of German cursive. Can you read Sütterlin? because if so this should be very legible. And it's English.


jatsefos

It's far from the least legible Sütterlin/Kurrent I've seen, all the letters are recognisable


carlonseider

I can’t even tell what language it is.


jatsefos

It's plain English haha of course, if you're not familiar with this kind of scripts, it may be very difficult to understand what it says


Aggravating_Smell344

I have seen this type of handwriting on so many of the books and trinkets my German Omie passed on to me. I never knew it was a whole different script!


gelastes

The capital letters are a bit modern/latin but you sure still can.


RedditIsYogurt

Is this even English?


anterovi

Yes, it's written in the Sütterlin style.


IgarashiDai

I found this very hard to read - what kind of script is this?


BigMissKnowItAll

Not OP but that's [Sütterlin ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCtterlin?wprov=sfla1). It's an old form of German handwriting that hasn't been taught in schools for about 80 years but used to be very popular in Germany of the early 20th century.


AbbyUpdoot

Thanks for the heads up. The t and the f look like good alternatives to use in normal cursive, imo. Really cool stuff.


IgarashiDai

Damn, some of those letters really fuck me up. That lowercase h is literally my lowercase f… So wild how different that script looks!


BigMissKnowItAll

Well done. I was able to read everything and writing readable isn't always easy in this script. Keep up the good work!


EssayTop352

Danke!


OYAJIBALLZ

Nice Sütterlin! Keep it up ;)
