Do you know how to write in cursive?

Do you know how to write in cursive? What age/grade did you learn it?

I learned it somewhere around the second or third grade. The funny thing is because of computers less schools teach it now.

Grade school.....strange that it isn't taught now....how do you learn your signature?

I do. I started in 1st grade.

I don't do it anymore. When I take notes in class I do it in printscript.

I do sign in cursive (of course) and when writing a letter (or when in extreme hurry) I revert to cursive (I guess my "dramatic" bulb lights up).

Yeah, in elementary school.

It surprises me that some of my friends my age only know how to write in manuscript.

I taught myself cursive in the third grade. We had letters on top of the blackboard and I started to copy them before the rest of the class did. The teacher told me I really shouldn't have jumped ahead, but she was glad to see the initiative. Cursive should be taught the moment the child's old enough to write. It's a beautiful form of writing, and everyone should be able to write that way. It can also be the difference between getting a job and being passed over by the next. If you can't sign your name on the application, that's not very encouraging.

Nope.

One of the many things from school that I failed to retain.

Yes, learned how to do it in 2nd grade.

I learned it, but I find it pretty useless.

The only thing I sign is my name. When I do write by hand(which is rare nowadays) I just opt to print as it's quicker and easier to read.

My natural style is cursive. I'm famous for my writing in school.

learned it in grade school, only really use it to sign things that's about it

Yeah, since I was 3. My sister taught it to me and it was the only thing taught at schools. Is it different now?

I don't remember 1st or 2nd grade. The only time I write in cursive now is my signature.

Now that I think about it when I was a recruiter one of the guys we put in had to be shown how to write his name in cursive in order to sign his paperwork. At least he didn't have to worry about signing his actual contract in cursive since that has been signed by your fingerprint since 2009. With the way things are going I give it 20 or 30 years before everything is digitally signed and pen signatures aren't accepted anymore in most places.

No and I'm not planning on learning how to. My handwriting is ugly enough as it is.

Ehh not that writing in cursive is ugly. I meant that I just don't have the talent for it.

Yeah I did, was always told off for how bad my handwriting was for years, was given different grade pencils and those rubber finger things and nothing worked, then I moved school and the first thing my new teacher said was how neat and tidy my handwriting was and since then I was always praised for it(at my new school). Even my report cards commented that I always had excellent handwriting and my work was graded better for it.

Like my driving instructor, my first one for about a year kept saying i needed another lesson, and other and another. I moved to a different instructor and on my second lesson he told to book my test and should have done months ago!! What a world.

yeah but i never use it

I learned how to write in cursive in elementary school.

My cursive writing is not very impressive. But when I speak I can curse like a sailor.

I learned in elementary school (2nd or 3rd grade). Other than for use in signatures, cursive is utterly pointless and most people's cursive is illegible.

Yes, I learned in grade school. What is bad about it not being taught in school is that future generations will not be able to read it and original founding documents that were written cursive.

Yes. Six years old in the first grade.

Blood stamp. With my thumb!

you must learn it at first grade in my country, but i skipped a lot of classes, and my writings are horible

Yes, though I'm a bit unsure on how to write a few capital letters (Z, D, F, K, etc). Learned it IIRC when I was learning the alphabet. Surprising to me to hear that now it's becoming sort of a lost art.

Don't even know what this is and i am too lazy to google it.

So no i guess.

Yes, I know how to write in cursive. I learned in first grade onward.

Cursive writing is actually considered better looking than standard.

Just saying

Mostly. But since I've never had a use for it, I'm a little rusty on the flow of certain letters.
