Poll: How do you Write?

[2fish]

I dislike cursive and my hand writting is bad, so I print. I can read and write in cursive but it always felt annoying to me. Kinda like shiney hubcaps on a normal car, whats the point of making the letters purty when it is the words that matter?.

I get a really weird feeling when writing by hand. An urge to throw the pen to some place.

Yeah, school was a pain.

I used to use cursive, but it made all my teachers cry. Now I don't and my handwriting brings joy to their lives. Or I use a computer

I pretend I'm a writer and then I write.

I hated it when my Romanian teacher would criticize me for my writing. I mean sure, it did look like a dog just crapped on my notebook but writing is based on your personality. I'm a lazy, impatient bum and I don't have the patience to make art every time I write a sentence. If teachers really want to change a students writing style then they should call a cognitive therapist.

I use non-cursive myself, though I'd love to get a typewriter.

If only I had my English notepad home today...

Basically, it's all over the place. It ranges from perfect block letters to squiggly joined writing to a slanted mess that I'm barely able to read myself.

And that's just across a single paragraph.

If I don't have a computer handy, I just print.

An almost pressed flat to the right cursive that looks like it's accelerating across the page. I write bloody fast.

Just before I left the army we had a kit inspection that included notepad and pen. I handed out my three spares to some of the newer lads that had apparently never owned a pen. "why do you have pens on you all time? I've never written anything outside of school"


I was quite literally stunned.

i'd scribble something like archemetis, as i've got a tablet pc, but the pen's broken

I type, electronically, most of the time, but I still do a fair bit of what we over here call "joined up writing" (we never really got the whole "cursive" thing. that or we ditched it decades ago for being just TOO old fashioned)

The overall neatness varies with speed...

I can also write in Palm Graffiti, though I never did finish learning how to write kana.

Small, copperplate-esque, rather feminine-looking cursive. Neater in cyrillic than Latin script.

 

[Dyme]

Even more beautiful in reality!

And I actually forgot a '

I write on my laptop, but I have this awesome feature that can make my keyboard sound like a typewriter. I usually use it to drive people who are talking too much in the library mad.

 

[Death God]

Well, my cursive sucks and I don't usually type but I usually write in print so non-cursive.

I don't think I've already posted in this thread, haha...

I couldn't write in cursive to save my life. However, my regular handwriting is actually quite similar to cursive, in a way.

See, I rarely lift my pen when I write, so my letters kinda blend together in a single trail of ink, but they look more like printed letters than cursive. That, or I write really slow and each letter is its own individual thing. Either way, it's half-illegible.
