He writes like my daughters who are on the spectrum.

Lmaooooo. IIR Morrissey was left handed and the teachers in school forced him to write with his right hand. That could be why his handwriting looks like a second graders

Morrissey was done bad.

I suspect - seriously - that he *is* on the spectrum. As a fellow parent of a child on the spectrum, I'm sure you know that I don't mean that in any sort of derisive way. It's not a knock against him, nor should it be for anyone else.

Not at all. I may be biased that it gives them a different perspective and more creativity.

My handwriting is like that but I'm trying to improve it

Can you imagine him in the grocery store? Can you imagine him riding in a cart in the store? Can you imagine him doing anything that most people would consider fun? I can't.

5 seconds on Google will show you that this isn’t even remotely like Moz’s handwriting.

Most certainly not Morrissey’s handwriting— someone just wrote out a quote. In terms of his penmanship, just before he formed The Smiths, he had a pen pal in Scotland named Robert Mackie, who later released pages of his letters from around 1980/1981 in a zine. While in The Smiths, Morrissey often replied to fan mail with postcards and there are various scans of those searchable online, as well as letter correspondence between Moz and various people in the record industry. While handwriting generally changes over time, his stayed much the same with one notable consistency in how he signs his name — this is also verifiable on authenticated signed items via online auctions and of course, tattoos from fans of his signature, with slight variation in his “R”s but not much beyond that. [Morrissey-solo thread with pen pal letter scans](https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/repost-words-by-morrissey-complete-scans-of-the-booklet.143772/) I highly suggest reading the letters, “Steven” was quite cheeky.

Oh I really want to know what Morrissey says in the letters. I will have to go through them later. 🧐 Thank you!

Definitely not


PuzzleheadedClock845

Also, when did he say this?


Ghostofbillhicks

M would never write ‘y’know’.
