Do you print or use cursive writing?

[Patio]

I've always printed instead of cursive writing. Don't know why, but only use cursive, if I have to make my signature. Which do you do?

 

[Micca]

Print, and my handwriting is so bad sometimes I can't even read it.

 

[GEM]

I'm the exact same way. I print everything except my signature. I always have. I don't think I could write in cursive any more even if I wanted to. It kind of makes me resent all that time they made us spend on it in third grade.

 

[helenabear]

I honestly do both... and actually I will accidentally wind up doing cursive when I am printing if I am not watching. Who knows why, maybe it is quicker for me to write that way.

 

[Towncrier]

Print (except for signature). I personally think that schools should stop teaching cursive writing and concentrate instead on keyboarding skills (at least for this generation of children).

I do both within the same note or what ever. They say if you only print your a very private person.(I read a book on hand writing styles and what it means) My DH only prints and he is very private.

Well than I too, am private, cause I print, and I use Cursive ONLY for my Signature. I have completely forgot HOW to write in Cursive.

That's interesting abaldacci because I only print and I'm also a very private person. Of course, my cursive is illegible too.

I write in cursive and print in the same word sometimes.


My husband would print everything in capital letters.

 

[grinningghost]

It depends. If I'm writing a letter, I write in cursive because it's faster. If I'm writing just about anything else, I print.

Interesting...

I had not thought much about it.

I will print things like grocery lists, messages and such...

I will use script when doing more formal things like personal letters and gift cards and also menus ( I love to do elegant dinners for family and often do a menu card for them to take home, hopefully it will provide memories of good times and great food. I tend to express what little creativity I have with food and it feels good to know my gifts of food have a lot of "me" in them, I don't buy a lot of store bought gifts for birthdays etc. I just stuff them with the best I can find!)

My writing is one of the other very few things I am proud of. It is often commented on. At work it is known as the "Leanne Font"

*sighs* Cooking and handwriting.... I wish I had been born in another time!

print..but it sometimes looks like cursive.
The only cursive I remember is how to sign my name.

 

[honeywolf7]

The only time I print is when I am doing a crossword puzzle or some other type of word puzzle.

 

[RoutemanDan]

Kind of a combination.

I agree totally. The problem would be that if they are not taught cursive, they won't learn to read it.

My hand has evolved into a strange mix of printing and cursive. Back when I went to first grade in Catholic school we started with cursive. They never actually taught us to print. I know some old-school Catholics that have a great deal of trouble printing. It required a lot of concentration for my Mom to print on my kid's cards, etc, when they first learned to read. Now they can read cursive, but not really well. Most youngsters I know struggle mightily to read cursive.

 

[Sharon A.]

Almost entirely cursive.

 

[Beauty]

I do both at the same time too.

 

[ASFCurly]

I mostly print, but don't pick the pen up between letters so they are all connected and look like cursive but I don't use the cursive letters.

 

[tiggerlover]

I mostly print and that is mainly because I think my cursive isn't very appealing to the eye. I wish I had a nice cursive writing like my sisters because if I did I would use it all of the time.

 

[Princess Michelle]

I write the same way Alisha does most of the time. It's like printing but the letters are connected so it looks like cursive. Honestly there isn't a whole lot of difference between my printing and cursive even when I do it right. I think I have nice handwriting, very easy to read. I don't know where I got it from because you can't read either of my parents writing.
