Poll: How do you Write?

[Talshere]

We were always taught that cursive was proper writing. Non cursive is how children wrote. Now your growing up you have to write like grown-ups. So we did.

I find the concept of "cursive writing is a dying art" to be bizarre. I cant quite comprehend the idea

See that never was the case while I was growing up. It wasn't until late in high-school that I actively decided to use cursive. And I was a huge minority. Just out of curiosity what country were you taught in?

UK. England more specifically. Yorkshire.

Interesting, you're the second person from England that said cursive is their primary form of writing. I guess it must be a trend in your country rather than an isolated co-incidence.

i don't cursive, it is very loopy and lots of people can't read it if i try and write fast.

my grade five teacher said if i did not know how to write cursive then i will not be succesful and no secondary school teacher will not read my work.
yeah she can get bent.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Slowly, and with the precision of a web-fingered T-Rex.

 

[Kriptonite]

If I'm not typing on my laptop(Which by the way doesn't sounds like much, but spend 30 seconds with the Compaq Presario's keyboard and you'll see) I'm writing in a slightly illegible manner.

 

[Ironwampa]

With your hands obviously.

 

[Broken Boy]

Cursive for me but I'm usually the only one that can understand it.

I've consciously changed the way I write (putting slashes through 7s and 0s, making tall letters TALL) and I like how it looks now, but a couple years ago my writing was a lot more challenging to read. Printing of course. My cursive is a trainwreck only I can read.

I spend so much time in front of my computer... It's actually my job. When I end up scribbling things on paper, it's non-cursive, and weird.

Computer all the way!

 

[superbatranger]

Non-cursive. It hurts one's eyes to read.

 

[The_Echo]

My handwriting is halfway between print and cursive. Sometimes it looks godly, and other times it looks lame.

I generally do that unless I'm on a computer.

 

[Julianking93]

Mostly computer, but I keep a journal (Yeah, I said it) so I write in that everyday. Looking back at it, I've noticed I switch between cursive and print. It's strange. Perhaps I have multiple personalities >>

Seriously though, my handwriting is very very very small and often times difficult to read. It resembles Einstein's handwriting [http://www.handwriting.org/main/samples/einstein.htm] though, so that's kinda cool.

 

[R0cklobster]

I'm surprised how many people don't write cursive. In school it was just one of those things that's a given after like 5th grade.

 

[Lust]

A mix of cursive and non-cursive.

I tend to switch off between the two. Also, I'm not a very fast typer.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

My handwriting hasn't improved since the 3rd grade. That's why I type mostly everything.

What I hate the most about writing in general is that in 3rd grade, my teacher told me that we'd be writing in cursive for the rest of our lives. I was told the same thing in 4th and 5th grade. I haven't written anything in cursive since and in fact have forgotten most of it.

 

[Jerious1154]

The only letters that I still know how to write in cursive are the ones that I need to use in my signature. Other than that, I haven't written anything in cursive since 3rd grade.

 

[LogicNProportion]

I have crazy handwriting, but people like it, apparently.

But I type like ab east, and I love the sound and feel of the keys.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

I can't print very well, and I can't write or even READ cursive. I use a computer.
