I do, why wouldn't I? As you say it's much faster once you're used to. I suppose I'd write in print if it was a note to someone else who said they couldn't read cursive. Which since they don't seem to teach cursive anymore might be the case in the future.SacremPyrobolum said:I do. I find that it is quicker, and while it is mostly illegible by people other than myself it is great for leaving a signature, which is the only thing that I actually write without a computer these days anyway.
UPDATE: To make this thread a little more interesting, what are your opinions about it being taught in class? I like writing in curisive, but I cannot say I have found much use for it. I only think it is faster for me because I am used to it.
I also do this. I've been trying to get back into a proper writing method. I prefer cursive so I've been practising that, but since I don't write as much anymore, I'm really not making any progress.Scarecrow1001 said:Yes, by accident. Actually, I only half write in cursive, I switch between cursive and normal, which is horrible for people to read. It's bad. Bad bad bad. It should not be taught.
I think it's a waste of time. It may be faster than writing things out in print but is it really faster than typing? Faster than shorthand? This is not the most efficient way of taking notes. Nor does it produce high quality well indexed documents that can be networked into a strong knowledge base.SacremPyrobolum said:UPDATE: To make this thread a little more interesting, what are your opinions about it being taught in class?
Well it probably is a nation thing as I was totally confused about what the hell people where talking about as I saw no one actually using cursive at all in the thread.Summerstorm said:Ooookay... the poll totally confuses. me. I would have guessed about 95% of people would have checked cursive.
Had to look up "Cursive" in wikipedia, because i thought maybe i have the wrong script/technique in mind... but nope. Cursive is the "normal" writing.
Block Letters is the "other kind". As far as i know only use for block is filling out forms (Where it had to be very clear and legible) or... if you have a writing/reading disorder. Or leaving VERY clear signs/notes for people.
My neffew for example has a bit of trouble writing and prefers to use the clearer, slower block letters, thinking about the letters one-by-one.
Hm, could be that this is another national/regional thing?
Wikipedia:
"On the 2006 SAT, a United States post-secondary education entrance exam, only 15 percent of the students wrote their essay answers in cursive.[8]"
Ok, this is just strange...
