Do you write in cursive or print?

[StevenYoo]

i use a mixture of both. I write in print... but in a cursive style

Wrong. I can write regular sooooo much faster than cursive.

Print. I think the last time I wrote anything more than a sentence in cursive was in high school?

Other. At work, I write in block print; everywhere else, I write in cursive.

Same. Except I never did drafting. People always ask me if I am an engineer/drafter/etc. because of how small and neat my writing is. I just can't stand large print; reading or writing it.

Me too, plus after 22 years of being left handed you'd think I'd figure out how to write along and not smear ink all over the side of my hand, but no.

Haha, same here. I remember writing essay answers to questions in school and the side of my left hand being all full of lead or ink. 😀

I WRITE IN ALL CAPS MOST OF THE TIME, IF NOT ALL THE TIME. I NEVER HAVE TO WRITE ANYTHING LONG, JUST MAYBE A LIST OR A QUICK NOTE OR SERVER NAME OR SOMETHING.

I write in print, really bad print. Infact I dont think I could write in cursive anymore.

I do a mixture, kind of weird and I should probably stop. Usually, it will be cursive unless I forget what the cursive letter looks like.

No one can read my writing anyway. It's brought up at work all the time. We've had two audits where I've been specifically singled out for unreadable writing. /shrug

Cursive

 

[Cyco]

Print

 

[Oceandevi]

I cannot write in cursive anymore. I try every now and then but I forgot it all.

I use print but it looks like a slow 3 year old wrote it.
And my freaking hand cramps up after a few minutes so I cant really write or draw for very long.

I guess I would call it "interpretive print"

I don't even remember how to do cursive mostly anymore. My print is horrid too. Years back when I worked for a store and we had to fill out a form for the police dept for all things we were given, every week when we fax'd them to them they would always call and complain about my hand writting and eventually told us they would audit us if they had to call again, I never had to fill the forms out after that 🙂

Also, I have a hard enough reading cursive anymore, I get a birthday card for my aunt or grandmother and they write in cursive I can make out half of what it says and half to scan it in and email it to my mom to decipher since she can read it fine.

Print. I have pretty good handwriting.

One thing I can never stand is when people use a combination of cursive and print. I can read cursive, and I can read print. But when you mix them together, it looks ugly and can get hard to read.

(and yes, I use both upper and lower case. My handwriting used to be bad, but now it is fairly good)

WHAT?

 

[Colt45]

quasi-cursive. faster than outright printing, but it's not cursive.. most letters are print style, but some are cursive, and about half of them are hooked up.

 

[Journer]

mixed, but who the hell writes now-a-days anyways? seriously, other than my signature i can't think of the last thing i had to write. maybe a thank you note from time to time 😵 ...
i write more in japanese than i do in english :laugh:

 

[imported_Imp]

Print. I always thought it was the "adult" thing to write cursive, but I find it difficult to read cursive when people start personalizing every damn letter and swiggle.

 

[grrl]

I was thinking cursive, but then noticed that all the papers on my desk are full of print! I've largely given up on cursive because I can't even read mine anymore. I blame it on computers.

 

[duragezic]

I hate cursive and only did it for earlier school where it was required. Though I remember writing my name in cursive in kindergarten and them telling me not to do it anymore. First they require print then a few years later require cursive. 😕 🙂

If I didn't have to sign my name ever I'd probably forget how to write in cursive. As it is I don't draw all the letters not appearing in my name correctly in cursive, heh. I think I remember how to draw a capital cursive S (first letter of my name) but always thought it looked lame and was hard to do so I use a regular S with cursive for the rest of the letters.
