Do you write in cursive writing or in print? Or do you try and use your computer for all your writing needs? While lately I've started using Wordpad a good deal, I still write manually for the majority of my writing needs. I write in cursive mostly, when I scribble something down it comes out in print, but for anything more than two or three lines comes out in cursive. They forced me to write in it in elementary school, and it's stuck. So, when you go to write something do you write in print, cursive, or do you always use a computer for writing so it doesn't matter?

I type because I get yelled at by co workers that they can't read my handwriting...

Whenever I'm not typing, it's in print. (Which really sucks.) Cursive just doesn't seem necessary and I never see anyone write with it anyway.

Print all the way. My cursive went the way of the Dodo when I realized that it sucked.

My cursive sucks, so I print, and even then, my handwriting sucks. I don't use my computer for my tasks all that much.

My cursive skills gives people cancer. Yes, it's that bad.

I remember laughing at something Dave Barry once wrote about cursive, but I can't remember it. Trust me though, it was pretty funny.

Anyway, I print when have a choice, and use cursive when I have to. Both suck though, so I usually just do typing for the win.

During middle school I wrote almost exclusively in cursive. Throughout high school, I went back to writing in print, which is where I stand now.

I type as much as I can, but when I can;t, I print. And it's terrible! Nobody can read it!

If given the choice, I always print. But more and more teachers are asking for things to be typed, which sucks. I hate using the computer for writing stuff, even homework.

My cursive is basically self taught, because when I was in elementary I switched schools to where they were taught cursive that year instead of the next like the one I switched from. So I had to learn it from worksheets. My cursive is pretty neat when I'm not writing too fast. I like typing best though.

nowadays, i use my pc to store many things i write about. i still write however and leave personal account notes on sheets of paper, etc. i do not prefer cursive, since i write ugly, and i would most likely use pens, since lead could have that fade effect after a while...

I print. I'd prefer to type but that's not always in the cards, now is it, baby? I had to write in cursive when I was in the 5th grade though. It wasn't too terrible.

I use the computer for as much as I can, and then I resort to printing cuz cursive gives my hand cramps.

I type, but when I have to write I use print xD Cursive is messy... ^_^;; And it's really not that much faster...

me too

I print when I write, and I type when I type.

I only write cursive when I sign my name.

I have exclusively neat handwriting :eek: Surprisingly, it's true.

I print. I hated using cursive, so I refused to properly learn. Print comes naturally.

I am a cursive whore.

Really that's all there is to it.

(sometimes I admit I'll use a few print letters, but it's mostly cursive in nature. I adored learning it, and continued to use it even when teachers said we could write in print)

the best thing about cursive is not having to make possibly four lines for an uppercase E, minimally three. That was my biggest elementary time waster.

I write in print since no one can read my cursive...hell I can't read my cursive.

Cursive!!!! It's the old middle-ages style! and I love it. It is thought VERY VERY VERY well in Central, South, and Caribbean America.

My cursive is... okay.

I like my printing because it's really unique to me. :3 Over half the letters are connected to each other.

However, I prefer typing as it's 1000x times faster than writing anything by hand.

I always write manually! I love my handwritting and I write a lot more when I'm with a piece of paper in front of me, than with a screen... When i have to type at the computer I get really bored

I type almost all the time, unless I don't have the aid of a computer to use.

I do a sort of mix between cursive and print. Unfortunately those two words mix into a rather crude word, so uhm. I'll just call it scrawl.

I voted that I type because of that. But really it's a mix. I'll add a poll option.

Generally speaking, I use print for when I'm making notes (any text-based program can't compare to having a notepad in front of you on which you can doodle/scribble stuff), and type where possible, since my own writing is apparently very hard to read. Of course I don't have a problem with it.

I only use the pc, mainly for word and it's wonderous correcting.

When I write when I'm like in school or somethin I usually write in print. We had to write in cursive in primary school which was annoying. I think it was cursive.....

Cursive (ALMOST always). I find it quicker and I kinda like my cursive. :p I type a lot too.

My handwriting is some sort of ghetto hybrid of both of them.

well... here's an example of my hand writing (ahh the powers of having a tablet) You tell me which one I use. :D

(I type most of the time....)

I write in cursive when I write on paper, but most of the time I'm writing on the computer so... typing... you know? xD

Printing is just quite faster and not to mention easier. :)

I write in print but to alot of people, it looks like scripted handwriting so I picked both. A lot of people think that I have beautiful handwriting.:) :kaocheer:

When I don't need to type it is a mix of print and cursive, but just a very small hint of cursive.

I write in a very small print. It really pisses off some of my teachers. I always get work handed back with 'Write bigger' written across the page. lol. But that is just me.

I curse cursive, though I tend to write in a mixture of both print and cursive. Technically, it's like print but with the letters connected like in cursive. :confused:
