Does handwriting play a role in English?
A year ago I decided to change my awful handwriting. I found a children's notebook to practice writing the letters. A month later I already had calligraphical handwriting. I was very proud:)
This year I have an exam in English and go to the courses. My teacher said that I have to change my handwriting and write the simple letters because in the exam it will be undesirable. And now I don't know what to do. I love my handwriting and don't want to change it! So my question is: Do many people write calligraphically? And does it maybe look weird?
