As someone who had extremely poor handwriting as a child (it is still not great...), it makes a lot of sense to me that they'd land here.

Over the years, being regularly mocked/embarrassed/reprimanded over my handwriting and often forced to re-write assignments led me to develop a weird print ~hybrid casing that substituted a fair number of uppercase forms anywhere my lowercase forms caused trouble.

(This is mostly a fallback when someone can't read my cursive, or for official forms, package labels, etc. For the same reason I also adopted a smaller number of uppercase print capitals in my cursive.)

When it isn't socially appropriate to use ALLCAPS or come across as a sTRANgE pERsoN, I have to be fairly careful/attentive when writing in print to avoid dropping into mixed case.

(I'm not a monster; I'll scale these more like smallcaps when I write them.)

Terrible writing is why I got into computers so much myself. We live in a world where I barely pick up a pen any longer and I love it.
