My print sucks. I'm 31 and it still looks like a 7 year old's. My cursive on the other hand is much stronger. And it's funny, cuz I actually taught myself cursive.

Print. I tend not to write in cursive because I have trouble reading birthday cards from my grandparents. It's just so... Alien...

I wanna sort of adapt some Olde English Fonte into my handwriting though. That'll be fun

In 5th grade, we weren't allowed to write in anything but cursive because our teacher told us we'd be using it the rest of our lives. Well, that really didn't happen, and I haven't used it since. Therefore, I am better at using print.

Print. I hate cursive.

Though I'm not particularly good at either of them.

If its just letters then I write in cursive with a little bit of print.

If I'm writing a story or short stories then print all the way.

I love cursive and all but for the life of me I am 31 years old and i still have a hard time trying to write the capital G in cursive along with F and T

The sad fact is, that writing letters is a lost art, especially nowadays. With kids growing up in an increasingly technology dependent society, they have no real need to use print or cursive anymore. School assignments are typed and handed in or emailed in. Conversations happen in texts, which has its own shorthand. Aside from signing your name on checks/store receipts, you really dont need to write anything anymore.

I write in cursive because it's faster and I'm just more used to it than my print. Mind you, it is a bit horrible though.

Strangely enough, I write all my capital letters in print(probably because they are so damned hard to form) and the rest of the word in cursive.

F and T are extremely easy, but I'll agree, the G can go to hell. And all of a sudden.. I forgot how to do a capital Q.. :(

You know, I never really thought about it, but that's a great point, actually. Cursive is faster to write in, because your hand is only being lifted from the paper every other word instead of every other letter.

Can't remember the last time I used print. After learning cursive in 3rd grade I've been using it exclusively.

But isn't that the whole purpose of cursive? To make writing faster?

not always. If you're into calligraphy or art, you want your letters to flow like a river, so to speak.

My hand writing is a strange mix of cursive and print and has only gotten worse due to college and the fast talking professors. Now I have short hand for pretty much everything, and it is also integrating itself into my hand writing. I really ought to work on improving it. :P

I don't even know how to make all the cursive letters. Haha... My print is super neat, people say I "Write like a girl" which I guess is a compliment toward handwriting. Or maybe my eyeliner.

For me it's always print which will be very neat as long as I'm not rushing too much. I gave up using cursive sometime back in Jr. High School and I have this feeling I would be rather slow at it if I attempted to use it once again.

Cursive. I'm always careful not to fall into the habit of having everything look like up and down scribbles, so people can read it easily. Never had a teacher or professor complain about my assignments being written in cursive.

With the right hand print, with the left hand cursive. I change depending on the situation
