I think your writing is interesting, actually. It's got really neat extremes of flourish and lack of flourish. And yeah, I think there must be something different about the way penmanship is taught in America and Europe, because your writing vaguely reminds me of my French friend's and my Portuguese relatives' writing.

Extreme, yeah, and not very easy to read ;)

I have vague recollection about the difference in teaching between Europe and America yes. We initially learned in a very fancy longhand writing, which I progressively gave up on (although in any case, my writing was still ugly and unreadable according to everyone including myself)

There are definitely different "normal" or "standard" forms in the US and European countries -- my handwriting is still very different from the Irish folks I know, even though my spoken accent has elided to Irish quite a bit.

Similarly, though they are more similar to each other than to the US, "school" handwriting taught in Germany, France, Ireland, and the UK are each different too. (From what I've seen, anyway, from friends' letters who learned to write in those countries.)

So, uh, not disagreeing with you; in fact, I'm just trying to say I think you're absolutely right. :p

Nah, it's pretty interesting. But frustrating not to have the right words and description to put onto it.
