Do you write mostly in print or cursive?

I write in cursive most of the time. I seem to write faster and neater if I write in cursive. If I write in print it doesn't look as neat as my cursive because I'm usually trying to hurry up and write stuff down. Now if I took my time and wrote in print it wouldn't look bad but I'm in too much of a hurry most of the time when I'm writing stuff down.

I sort of do an interesting mix of the two. My handwriting is rather nice. Most handwriting experts say that cursive is a lot nicer and easier to be pretty. However, it takes a lot of practice to have beautiful handwriting.

I actually write in a mix of print and cursive. When I do signatures it is straight curvive, but I do know people who have bene told to sign their name over and over again because it looks like a print type.

I write as little as possible, but when I do it is in cursive. My printing is terrible and it takes to long to write that way. Cursive is the only way for me.

I must admit that the few times I do write it is mostly in print because my handwriting is very sloppy! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

actually, i don't write that much because i usually type with the computer. but whenever i write, it depends on my mood whether to print or do it in cursive type. to tell you frankly, my penmanship is not that good but it is readable. i envy those people who has nice penmanship, printed or cursive. i don't really know how we get to have different penmanship and how come mine is like that. no matter how much i practise or try changing it, it still doesn't look good enough. well, there is one exclusive for girls school here in the philippines that has there own handwriting. it is in cursive form. i think they teach their students the handwriting and requires them to write in that manner. well, all handwritings of the people i know who came from that school are similar. actually, our president studied in that school also. so i guess handwriting could be learned but maybe when you started early (childhood years).

I almost always write in print, unless I am in a huge hurry. Not only that, but I also use capital letters. It just seems like it is a lot easier to read. I have been told that I have nice handwriting, but I really just think it is unique handwriting. I also believe that the type of pen or pencil that you use makes a huge difference. I am really particular. I like to use a uniball micro ink pen. And I use a pilot engineering pencil with hb lead. I got into these habits when I was working as an underwriter at a bank. And I think I got worse when I worked for this engineer who was a lot like Monk. Hope you have a great day!

When I was still an elementary schoolgirl, we were taught to write in cursive, or we locally say as 'scripted'. If I'm not mistaken, we began to practice 'scripted' handwriting from the third or fourth grade until high school. During college days particularly on my first year in college, I really had to make necessary adjustments regarding my handwriting because I found myself strange. In comparison with almost all of my schoolmates, they took lectures and dictations through printed handwriting. I felt that it was one way to ensure that I do belong with the group. After graduating from college for more than ten years and currently working with a local bank, I use printed handwriting very often. Like you, I only use cursive or scripted handwriting when I do sign on documents or paper. I think I don't know how to write legibly in 'script' anymore. But if I have to do it, I guess I still have to do much practice.

My writing is what I'd refer to as print-sive... it is mostly printing but uses some elements of cursive. I wish I could give you a sample to show you what I mean. It has deteriorated over time, I used to have beautiful cursive writing but now since I text and type primarily, I scribble when I write. I do sign/autograph (lol) in cursive but since it's a signature, it always looks the same. Some days it is sloppier than others but it is distinctive. I have never seen a signature that looks similar to mine.

Back when I learned how to write it was in cursive first. After we had that down we were introduced to print but just briefly. We always had to use cursive when writing something for school. There was even a category for 'handwriting' on our report cards in elementary school that the teacher had to give you a grade in. Because of this I usually use cursive but had some influx of print letters. It's more of a mix now, especially since my oldest started school and at first she couldn't read my notes so I had to use print. Nowadays kids learn the print first and cursive later. My kids have much neater handwriting than I ever had. Maybe it's a good method for the kids to learn how to write legibly.

It's a combination for me. It depends on what I am doing at the time. If I am writing an address on an envelope, I'll print it. If I'm writing a letter, I use cursive.

I always write in print too. I don't think that my cursive handwriting is as good. I think cursive handwriting is beautiful, but I can't gey mine to be as nice as I'd like it to be. I remember back in the 2nd grade when we actually began to learn cursive writing. I've had trouble with it since the begininng. I've still never really tried to work on it to make it look better over the years.

I almost always write in cursive. My handwriting isn't as good as it used to be. My husband always prints because you can't read his handwriting lol Have a good evening and happy lotting.

i write in print cuz idk how to write in cursive really lol just my name and it takes longer cuz id have to think so i just print but cursive definatly looks fancier

Personally for me, it often depends on what I am doing as to which one I will do. I feel I can write in cursive and print neatly both ways unless I am really tired. If I am writing something down like an article to submit somewhere, then usually most of the time I print. But when taking notes at church while our Pastor is preaching I tend to write in cursive as it saves time.

I don't think I've printed since I was in grade school. I'm so used to writing in cursive that it feels like printing takes so much longer.

I prefer cursive. But I tend to mix it up in the same piece. IF writing for someone else, I try my best towrite it all in print because I'm a leftie and I tend to be messy! I too write my signature in cursive as well, as its meant to be like this. Hey I continued our discussion in my post entitled, pet peeves. In this I wanted to know your opposite of pet peeves...things that make you happy instantly. I very often don't put my subject in that title line, I want to make sure people actually read my discussions, discussions, after all, are conversations and in a conversation you want to hear all a person has to say to better answer them.

I write in print unless I am signing something. I don't usually write in cursive because I am not that good at writing in cursive. Although my ampersands (&) are usually in cursive. I use the cursive z for my ands, something I picked up and started doing in high school, I did it to be different, lol, and a bit rebellious I guess. In any case, If it is a documented agreement I might write all in cursive to be formal.

Mostly I write in cursive. I just can't wait to be done with my writing. I guess it reflects the kind of life that I have now. Always on the go. That's why it looks like all the letters are not in place because I just can't wait to be done with it. Sometimes, I can't even understand my own hand writing!

It depends. Sometimes I'll go through periods where I'll write primarily in print, then cursive. Lately, I wanted to write in cursive, but my handwriting does not look the way I want it to. It is neat, but the letters come out too narrow, so I sometimes practice writing in cursive. When I write notes for school, I write them in cursive. But I sometimes forget and end up writing in print. At home if I write something, I alternate between print and cursive. I'm making myself ambidextrous, and I practice writing with my left hand. My print is still a bit wobbly but cursive is terrible But seriously, it's really bad....
