do you write in cursive?

[Dacalo]

I used to do it until highschool, but stopped in college.

I still do it when I write checks

Even when I print, it looks like cursive.
When I write cursive, it is flowery and really pretty to look at, but a lot of ppl have trouble understanding it.

 

[thomsbrain]

nevar!

 

[ohtwell]

I write in cursive if I'm trying to write fast, but I write in print if I'm trying to be neat.

Sometimes, but not often

 

[Chiropteran]

Never. It takes longer and it's harder to read, whats the point?

 

[Falloutboy]

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?

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.

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.

BINGO! It's the feng shui of writing.

i dont write in cursive, i hated learning it because....well i never saw anyone use it, and figured i wouldnt either

appearently grade school teachers didnt have anything better to do than teach us cursive sometimes

bah to it

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

I type everything I can.

I've failed more assignments because teachers couldn't read my handwriting than because I actually had the answers incorrect.

I print everything that I have to.

I only use cursive for my signature.

both cursive and print are highly illegible.

 

[Modeps]

Nope, I dont write at all. I type. My handwriting is atrocious.

Yep... net exactly cursive though... more like freehand...

same here. more like a shorthand. its kind of cursive mixed with printing for optimized speed and legibility. achieves great effeciency for me. although, its more printing, with a little bit a cursive mixed in.

ExactamundO!

 

[CChaos]

No never and I have no idea why they ever taught us.

 

[eplebnista]

yes
