I have very good cursive handwriting, for when I'm writing seriously for a novel or something.

Rest of the time I use block caps. Which are still very neat. I was brought up in that kind of environment.

I CAN write in cursive, but it's never necessary nor useful except for when I need to write my signature; otherwise my print handwriting isn't illegible or overly messy, but it is fairly big and I take a longer time to write than most other people, so I use a computer most of the time

I write like a spider got ink on it's feet and went ice skateing across the paper.

In otherwords, Rubish.

My writing is a lazy combination of print and cursive. The letters sometimes string together into a hybrid style.

I generally prefer to type, but sometimes I find that writing ideas out by hand helps my thinking process, so I've actually maintained my handwriting skills pretty well, relatively speaking. I generally print when I write, though when I go fast it becomes kind of a combination of print and cursive. I can read and write cursive just fine, but I don't really like writing it for some reason. I feel like printing is cleaner.

I usually prefer using a keyboard for typing rather than writing, it takes a lot longer for your hands to tire. If I'm forced into writing, however, I use a half-printing, half-cursive hybrid that usually has the simple and connected letters in cursive and the rest in print. (ex: "simple" would be "im" and "le" in cursive, the rest printed).

My hand writing is awful, damn near illegible. I can write quite fast though which is good. The only thing I write in cursive is my signature though. Most my writing is done on the computer when possible because of my bad handwriting.

I have horrific handwriting and it hurts my eyes to look at it. Seriously a five year old with no hands could have nicer handwriting than me.. Therefore if I were forced to write something for some bizarre reason, I'd probably use a computer.

My handwriting is Atrocious at times. Um, well its Non-Cursive since it seems to make it slightly better and more legible.
Your lucky, my handwriting is Always Atrocious.

I type mostly, but when I'm taking notes for class I have to hand write them. My hand writing is really messy when I'm writing fast, but I can read it easily enough so I have no problems with it.

I'll take this moment to re-post what I posted in a similar thread not long ago...



I think it says it better than I ever could... Even if it is still me saying it...

Same for me, but even in Non-Cursive is hard to read some times. This is because i never learned how to properly hold a pencil. i should have learned when i was 6 when they tried teaching me, but for some reason i always held it my own way, causing my hand to cramp sooner and my writing to be poorer. Yeah for computers!

Vote and comment? Nay, sir! You shant tell me what to do after I have voted! If the thread has enough weight behind it, and it really tickes my brain, I shall usher forth a comment. I will not post a comment just because you are demanding one from me.


...dammit.

On a computer, ideally. I like easier oversight and having my writing legible.

My hiragana is better than my handwriting, strangely enough.

I always write in print (non-cursive), since cursive is at times hard to read and more sloppy. I have exquisite handwriting, writing potential and understanding of the English language. I should be an editor...

Other. I use manuscript when I physically write stuff. I'm not sure if that counts as "non-cursive" or not though.
