I had handwriting courses in middle school so yes. People have commented on it because I don't mix script and non-script letters, either it's all cursive or not.

I write short stories and books longhand for some reason, so when the ideas flow really quickly, I switch to cursive cause it's faster.

I can, but I rarely do. Most of the time my writing is a combinationof yhe two. Don't worry, it's legible. :)

I usually print in small block caps.
If I have to write faster I use a bastardization of block caps, print, cursive, and shorthand. It's surprisingly still legible but not very pretty...yet still a lot better looking than most other guys' handwriting.

Sort of. I have a 'bastardized' - as amnesiac so profoundly put it - version of printing and script...IE, I slop my printed letters together to look kind of cursive. ;) My handwriting is really, really horrible, and only a few people who have known me for a while and have previously read much of my handwriting are usually able to decrypt it. I write extremely fast and sloppy, but my grammar and punctuation is flawless. Go figure. ;)

Of course. How can you forget how to write in cursive? I haven't done it in years, so I suck at it.. but it's not like I don't remember how to do all the letters.

Of course I can, being that I'm older than 8 and graduated from elementary school.

I don't, though.

Yeap. Hardly ever write anything anymore, but when I do it's always in cursive.

no. In fact, I never really saw a point to it.

i agree, and they make such a huge dal bout it in grade school



Heh yeah... I still remember my fifth grade teacher saying "In middle school you are required to write in cursive... otherwise you will fail." I haven't used it since grade school. I guess they had to justify teaching us something useless. I can still remember how, although it is slower to write and harder to read.

I used to write in cursive back in elementary school when they taught us how to do it, but I gave that up a long time ago. I print everything in block letters and only use (sloppy) cursive to sign my name.

thanks to school my writing has turned into a big mess, I kinda took print and cursive and mushed them together and I have my own writing stye, most people cant read it very well so I have to take my time writing. I forget most of the letters in cursive so I cant do it anymore.

Most Homo Sapiens born after 5000BC can write in cursive. Where have you been? Elvis? Did they bring you BACK? :Q

I forgot. I know some letters but not all. Haven't written in cursive since elementary school.
