Re: Printing or Cursive?

I print everything except my choreography notes because then I'm usually writing as fast as I can in case the idea escapes me.

Nowadays, I mostly type, because it's faster and I work on a computer. When I was in school (or now, in meetings), I printed, because my cursive is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to read. For that matter, my print isn't much better, but I figure that if I want others to be able to read it, I can make it that way. ;)

My writing is sort of half cursive half printed.

A mix, but mostly printing. If the letters can be bunched together, they probably are -- and it's weird because I make my s's cursive when they are attached to an 'e' or 'g' or such. o_o;;

I only use print, except for my signature (of course). I think I forgot how to write a few letters in cursive. Sometimes when I'm taking notes some of my letters will join together, but other than that I always print or type.

The letters that I don't join onto the next one are: b, f, g, j, p, s, x and y. Basically, any that ends on the left side depending on how I write it. Everything else is joined into a scrawled bunch, though I attempt to type if possible.

I use printing because no one on earth (sometimes not even me) can ever read my cursive. So, to make my work sightly more readable, I use printing. Plus I seem to write quicker in it anyway. :P

I pretty much print everything. Every now and then I'll catch myself writing in cursive though. It just depends on how I'm feeling I guess.

Cursive. My print is so messy, I'm really rubbish at it.

Very flourishy print. I actually used cursive for years, until I realized that print was faster (for me) and note taking was easier with print.

Cursive? What is this cursive?
*does not write, can only print.*
When taking notes I found my printing to take much less time, so I always used it, and thus forgot most of how to write cursive.

I would describe my handwriting as print in italics, as I do tend to join some letters like g, y, l, n, m etc and write on a slight slope, but most of my other letters (especially my capitals, s's, k's and r's) are very much print. Besides I tend to type more than I write nowadays anyway.

I use print, though I tend to string the letters together when I'm in a hurry. I write letters... uh... in a unique fashion, so for example my g's tend to look like p's, and most of the times the i's are just small dots between letters.

Handwriting sample. Note that this is from a school essay on today's consumistic society, and I used my best writing. You don't want to know what the first draft looked like :P

I print most of the time, with some of my letters curvy (like my Ys and Ts). :)
