Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes treat "handwriting" as plural and say *handwritings* or use a plural verb, e.g. *My handwriting are bad.* In standard English, "handwriting" is almost always uncountable and takes a singular verb: "My handwriting is bad." Learners may also confuse "handwriting" with "signature"; a signature is a person’s name written in a special way, while handwriting is their general style of writing.
