I usually write in cursive, like when I'm taking notes or when I'm writing reminders to myself. I write several checks a month using cursive. Does anyone know what a check is?
I write sentiments in birthday cards to my wife in very neat, calligraphic script.
I can write many times faster in cursive than I can print. Fortunately, I can decipher my own cursive writing.
The only time I print is on documents that have to be legible to idiots.
Cursive is a good way to keep secrets from people who never learned it in school. It's like a secret code or foreign language.
I learned cursive in third grade. Had to buy a special three-sided ball point one for 35 cents: I'll never forget that price. Anyway, through the years, my writing has evolved somewhat as my dad's did - - - somewhat of a combo of printing and short cursive words or letter blends. Of course, there are times for need of emphasis or clarity that I will only print, and even that has its' quirks, mostly due to doing it quickly.
On a side note, since I have been a Graphic Designer for nearly 60 years, I can hand letter quite well, particularly with a "C-style" pen nib, giving smooth, gliding to chiseled letterforms. A, B and D have their places too, but there is nothing like a C nib.
I'm not sure if my handwriting has anything in common with cursive... I write some letters as a mirror reflection, but only sometimes...
in college and in the university, my notes were in high demand as I write relatively fast... but not everyone was able to decipher this enigma code :D
Still almost daily, though not with the rules lines the teachers made us use in school! 😂

Always unless it says to print
Forcing cursive on me was the point where my handwriting went from "rough, but comprehensible" to "totally illegible". I usually don't even use it for signatures any more (legally, you can still sign with an X), purely out of spite.
anything personal or practical that it is for me to read, as in taking notes... I'll go with cursive
well, it is close to cursive than anything else that's legible
some people do call it cryptic codes... lol
@NathanDavis more cryptic than my handwriting? :D
@IslaTheWitch CIA would approve...
@NathanDavis lmao... they would approve almost everything :D
@IslaTheWitch I might or might not have written and signed a couple of prescriptions myself...
@NathanDavis lmao
I only write in cursive, I can't write in another manners. In France we're forced to write in cursive or the teacher don't grade our work and we get a 0.
I don't even know what it is!
I just know that the fancy stuff is called, "writing" and the non-fancy stuff is called, "printing".
Only cursive I write anymore is when I signature is required if I write a letter to somebody I actually print that way it's easier to read
I only write in cursive unless it specifies not to.
Only when I write my signature that I can't imitate lol
Never learnt how to write in cursive. My handwriting is pretty terrible
I always do, unless I am filling out a document that says print.
Never. Even my signature is just a consistent scribble.
Most of my printing has some cursive mixed in, but I don’t think I’ve used it exclusively since middle school
rarely
( for the records: I wrote this in cursive)
I only write in cursive if I have to sign something
I don't know, I don't keep track, but when I do it's usually one line.
I don't do it anymore, I used to do it when I went to school.
All the time, I do calligraphy
Never. I usually print.
Signature only
Never. I print always
Never
