My writing is shit, but I have to do it cause I'm at school. They shouldn't stop teaching it though as writing by hand is much faster at lectures and class etc
Hey Psyfira! Long time no read!I take notes all the time, if I want to jot something down quickly a computer just can't cut it. I like being able to squish things about on a page or switch between diagrams and writing, and I have a visual mind so I remember more if I can see the page layout in my head. I half join it up, half don't, depends on the letter as some are easier to join up than others.
My handwriting in school was awful but that wasn't cursive's fault; we had to use fountain pen, I press quite hard so I was hopeless with them. Seriously I don't know anyone who stuck with those for everyday stuff.
I think most over 20's have one, but whether they know where it is is another matterI also have to wonder who actually owns a chequebook any more? In fact I reckon most people I deal with around here aged under 27 have never owned one and it is not much more common until you hit around 40 unless they got one for their business (not uncommon but a lack of one would not even cause an eyebrow to be raised)
My daily handwriting is a mix of print and cursive, lol. I don't think they should stop teaching it though.
I only write in normal print at school, or anywhere else for that matter. I learned cursive in the third grade, and it was never used elsewhere, so it never stuck. When I had to write out the agreement in cursive on the SAT, I almost wasn't able, since I had forgotten how to write a few letters in cursive. Instead, I just added in print in a sort of fancy, flow-y manner where there were holes in my memory. Otherwise, I only tend to remember the amount of cursive needed to piece together my terrible signature.
I haven't used cursive in years.
On the left, it's how I write on an everyday basis at work. On the right, it's how I write cursive (but it took me about 30 seconds to write that )
Not the prettiest handwriting, but I think it's somewhat legible. At least, to me it isI only ever write by hand when I'm taking notes in class anyway, so I only care about speed.
In my country only cursive is thaught at school, personally I prefer cursive since it's much nicer.
And yeah, I write by hand quite often because I love sending letters to friends in other countries and receiving them

I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU DON'T TYPE THAT WAY.I never wrote in cursive. Even in school I refused to (probably a bad idea in retrospect), I also normally always write in block capitals.
