I do. I curse faster than I print. ;-p
I just tried to paste my quip with text I copied from a cursive generator, but Fluther couldn’t display it.
Sad. I love cursive! I wish I could write it more but people my age cannot read it
Yes, I do. My penmanship is very good for a left-handed person. When I write cards, notes, or the occasional check (I recently sent 3 to pay for some business license renewals), I use cursive.
I haven’t since I got out of school.
Everyone developes their own unique writing style, building on what they learned in school.
I combine cursive and printing to write the fastest.
I have a way of writingthat i’ve used since high school. Like Dutch’s writing, mine combines printing and cursive.
My son block prints exclusively, even when signing legal documents.
Maybe once or twice a year. It’s slower (for me) than printing.
When I have to write fast my printing kind of flows into hand writing automatically. It’s pretty crappy but I can read it. When I was in 7th grade I had such beautiful hand writing skills.
When I was in the hospital last December a nurse asked me to sign some papers. I’ve always signed my.name in such a way that anyone could read it. The nurse shocked me by commenting that I have such nice hand writing. HA!
Sometimes.
When I’m feeling fancy.
It’s a combination of print and cursive.
I’ve shortened my signature to to the first letter of my first name, then scribble my last name in passible reading cursive.
Like this V B/~~/on/I$.
I drop the tail of the S down below the line.
That flourish on the S is my signature signature.
Pretty much only for my signature.
I never liked cursive much. It always seemed like a forced exercise, and I don’t think I was ever really faster in cursive than in print. My printing has almost always been very clear, and much more legible than my cursive, and I prefer how it looks, too, so I have never felt an actual reason to use it since grade school required it of us.
Knowing it has been occasionally useful for reading other people’s writing, though.
I stopped doing it even in school once it was no longer required.
Absolutely. Personal notes are always in cursive.
