Do you write in cursive? *Poll*

Just wondering how many of you guys cursive write?

Apparently only 15% of students cursive write and even less every year. Apparently cursive writing is a dying art form due to the invention of the typewriter. I tend to only cursive write when writing letters other then that it's a pad and paper + block letters. I've been trying to change over to just cursive writing mainly because it's faster than block writing and i can't stand bringing a computer to class i don't know why :P it's not surprising it's been used less and less. When i'm sitting beside someone in a lecture with a laptop and copying something off a powerpoint i notice that typing is about twice as fast as my regular printing.

So do you guys cursive write?

When I do hand write, it's a blend of cursive and regular.

I have noticed that when I write small, I write cursive. And I mean small, not the word... inb4smartasscomment.

I do both, but I suppose I write in cursive more often than not. That being said I try not to write out anything and type instead.

Yes, because I was taught to.
MAKE UP YOUR ****ING MIND WORLD! YOU CANT PUSH ME TO LEARN CURSIVE AND THEN TELL ME COMe HIGHSCHOOL
"Whelp, Enough of that, in the real world people print hehehehehe"

I write like a 5 year old when I write in print, and its all the schools fault for forcing me to get used to cursive writing.

I was taught to as well, but for some reason once highschool hit every teacher wanted things printed out in block letters or typed. My printing is fairly neat either way.

I write in print most of the time, I write in cursive sometimes when taking notes during class to help keep me awake. It actually works believe it or not. I dont write in cursive very often so when I do it forces me to concentrate more thus keeping me awake :) so almost all of my bio notes are in cursive haha

I would prefere to write everything in cursive, but people sometimes have a harder time reading other peopls cursive, so I print most of the time to avoid any confusion.

Signature, that's it. So much for "This is how all adults write and you need to learn it or you'll look like an idiot when you're older"

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW MRS. FOSS?!

I always write with my pretty, joined-up writing, unless I am filling out a form or something.

I write neater and faster in normal print so I long ago gave up using cursive.

No, I hate cursive writing.

Only to write my signature. I can write in "block" letters as fast as I can write in cursive, and I find it easier to correct my mistakes in block form. Also, it's easier for other people to read than cursive.

I switch between handwriting and printing for no reason.

If a word is in all caps, I tend to print it. If it's for an assignment or something, it'll usually be handwritten.

Every year since seventh grade at least one teacher's complemented the neatness of my handwriting. =\

Haven't since grade 4.

I love it how my grade 7 music teacher lied to me that in university exams have to be written in cursive. Credibility down the toilet right there!

I've been writing in cursive almost exclusively since the 3rd grade lol. It's just so much faster to me at this point. My penmenship isn't great though lol.

I never write anything but my signature in cursive. I've even forgotten how to write some letters in cursive.

I only write in cursive when providing a signature.

This, which makes a sort of scrawl - it's fairly neat though and quick to write :)

That and we were told that you don't use calculators, so get used to long division. I don't know why we ever believed that.

Anyways I only use cursive when I'm bored. It makes me think more otherwise I leave out letters...

nope, ive forgotten what most the cursive letters look like. only cursive i write now is my name, when i need to

This is exactly right.

only my sig other then that i hate it. I can read it no problem but I hate it, all the letter look like a clump up pile of letters.

from my personal opinion more women write cursive the men.

Only for my signature.

But, the D for my first name and the O for my last name aren't cursive.

The O is a cursive looking peace sign, and the D looks like this

with the 2 points in the middle converging into one point, and a line going through the D attaching to my a.

I thought I was the only one

I used to, but after a long period of barely ever putting pen to paper, I switched to normal. I still try to do it sometimes, but it comes out as a sloppy mess :P

lol no. I hate writing in cursive.

I find most cursive writing to be illegible.

Very rarely. Usually only when I'm taking notes and my hand gets tired.
