Isn't that a bit too archaic?

I'm not on the computer for anything in my life other than entertainment. So if I go out, and want to leave a note I handwrite it, as it's faster than printing. Also for Christmas cards I write them. Any formal letters ect...of course I'll type...but not too often.

There is something much more personal in receiving a handwritten note/letter/poem than a typed one.

yeah typed ones are lame, i agree, especially since I make a template letter and just replace out names

I print in all capitol letters. Big caps and little caps.

That's a sign of some psychological disorder.

Hmmm. What is the science behind that?

yea basically. althought i use the pseudo-cursive more cause it's more efficient. while we evolve, they'll all be left behind.

On some test, I was supposed to write some phrase in cursive about "I did not receive help in taking this test" etc. I struggled - I've stopped writing in cursive so long ago that I had to practice it on scrap paper first.

 

[TitanDiddly]

No.

You have very nice writing! rbloedow! Ah...mistakes, that's why they invented liquid paper! Boy am I dating myself now!

 

[FrustratedUser]

I use cursive when I write.

 

[jteef]

See my post above yours.

Maybe "psychological disorder" is too strong. Personality trait would be better.

Q10: What about people who print?

A: It is a generality, but worth answering. People who print have put up a barrier to keep the world from getting to know them. They do not easily express their inner-most feelings. People who print take longer to experience intimacy and tend to have a strong external protective mental shell that is often seen as confidence.
It is estimated that over half of men in the United States prefer to print rather than write cursive. This is the same tendency that says "I'd rather sit here in pain rather than express my feelings."
Some men learn at an early age to keep their insecure feelings hidden from the world. And yes, they do often have to print because of their messy handwriting, but the answer still applies.

From here

Some other guy says that people who print in big caps/little caps tend to blow things out of proportion, and live for the moment. Personally, I think that's a bunch of hooey, but I'll give you an e-hug if you think you're supressing your emotional self. Maybe we can beat on drums and talk about our dads or something.

Usually do..,

I write in Wingdings!

Actually, my printing is messy enough, so everything is done in Size 10 Verdana

yep, I write in cursive. Actually, I use some sort of semi-cursive, it's faster than writing block letters for me.

Edit: I should add, that anything of importance I hand in typed anyways, so my handwriting is usually used in notes. This is good because my handwriting leaves something to be desired.

Same here in both respects. I only ever write by hand to label burned CDs and on post-it note reminders to myself. If you saw something I wrote by hand, you'd guess that a very young and likely disabled child had written it I can type faster anyway.

It's the sign of being a technical draftsman, I know that much...

I still use cursive a lot myself. Not when writing brief notes, but I use it in letters and such.

[NikPreviousAcct]

Where's the "I write mostly in cursive" and "I write mostly in huge block letters" options?

I only write in cursive when I'm signing my name or am writing a formal letter.

Bah. Graphology (the "science" of divining personal information from handwriting) is complete bunk anyway. It's so easy to alter one's handwriting. Not alter in the sense that an FBI expert won't be able to tell that the same person wrote it, but alter in the sense that two different graphologists would conclude very different things about your personality when they "analysed" it.

[Bolvangar]

i think i've forgot how to

 

[MrCodeDude]

I remember our teachers were telling us that using cursive is faster and we will use it once we got the hang of it.

I made my own cursive, slanted block letter kind of writing.

 

[hdeck]

never did after middle school.
