1. Yes, maybe 1/2 the time, but usually not if somebody else is going to read it

2. Yes, I was required to write in cursive until 8th grade and I kept doing it in highschool and beyond, although I use it less and less

my handwriting is a combination writing...

I cause write it the proper way if I have to, but my normal writing isn't proper anymore.

I've never been able to write proper cursive, and I even have trouble reading it sometimes, like when my great-aunts or grandma write me letters. I don't have chicken scratch writing though, I still manage to link most/all my letters together.

yeah my "normal" style is infused with cursive, sortof a hybrid that has developed over the years. I find it much more efficient (and pretty!) than either style alone


but i'd definitely have to think about it from time to time were i to try to write purely in cursive

i actually never learned how to write in cursive. it took me forever to write those sentences at the beginning of the SATs. so no, i don't write in cursive.

i know the tests around 2002ish had a part where you had to copy some paragraph onto 3 lines. i think it was like "i didn't cheat" kinda statement.

Ever since engineering drafting class, its all caps, all the time, my signature notwithstanding. I developed an almost caligraphic (is that even a word) styled signature in high school which stuck, but i have to really take my time for it to look nice.

The only time I use cursive is as a signature--otherwise, it's all print, all the time.

the only year we really did cursive was 3rd grade. 4th grade teacher would ask us to do it rarely...after that never really again

Mine used to be awful, but I started making it legible last year. Now I'm pretty happy with it.

All caps.


My signature has become a minimal and stylized...damn you Marvin M and the freshman lecture class.

I learned to type before I could write cursive. I thought it was stupid and pointless. My signature looks terrible, and my actual print handwriting is almost as bad.
