Question of the Day, Sunday April 15th

Good morning! Today's question is actually something we were discussing at work on Friday. 

Do you write in cursive, do you print, or both?

 I use a combination, basically printed letters linked together here and there, although in grade school and high school I wrote in cursive. I just got lazy over the years. One of my co-workers argued that cursive shouldn't even be taught anymore because other than signing your name and the occasional grocery list nobody writes anymore. He may have a point. So, how about you?

I print because it's faster for me. but I do have a nice cursive if I say so myself and I haven't really written anything in cursive in a long, long time.

That's a good point, no one writes with a pen anymore. i find if I am in a meeting at work and I have to write a lot on a pad, my fingers start to hurt!

All print.  I like the look of it better and hate getting notes or anything with cursive.  Tends to be the creatives choice and they flare it all out

I print. My cursive writing still looks like it did in third grade when I learned how to do it. I envy people who can write cursive nicely. 

:lol3: I guess I haven't really thought about it until your question I guess I write in cursive, mostly. Depends on what I am writing or filling out.

 Pretty much the same thing here. My writing is horrible though whether it is printing or cursive. I still write things all the time, but I am in school and like to have a notebook with handwritten notes.

I print, all caps. I learned cursive and used it for awhile, but I just never liked it. I don't like the untidy-ness of cursive.

I print everything, mainly because I live in a country where the cursive is different and people have trouble with my handwriting. Cursive is being done away with in the elementary schools here now.

I do a combo.  My handwriting has always been a mess unless I'm concentrating and taking my time.  One doctor I worked for used to tell me he thought I was wasting time by jotting notes of all the calls that came in.  I pretty much had a whole call log I could look back at later.  Which I often needed to!  And it helped me paraphrase his messages to the relevant stuff.  Maybe with him being a stereotypical doctor with that kind of stuff he could have made sense of it....

I prefer hand written notes as well.  I can type faster than I can write for sure; but for some reason it's just easier to study from written notes.  And  you can make little side notes and things like that easier. 

I use both at the same time. LOL But my writing is horrible, unless I am concentrating. I use abbreviations when I am monitoring a call and taking notes. Then I forget what the abbreviation was for!

I tend to print more than I write, but I do enjoy writing!

My handwriting tends to be a mix of cursive and printing. It's always been that way.

Mostly print, but sometimes string the letters together in a print/cursive mix. I haven't written in full cursive in quite some time.

When writing I use cursive unless I am asked to print or use all caps

I still write quite a lot especially if I am planning something I write it all down so im not swapping between a dozen windows on the computer, and I find not taking the pen off the paper is much quicker to write LOL

Both; depends on the reader, as some friends can't read English cursive.

I do a little of both, but I mostly write in cursive. I think it's prettier & faster, because your not lifting your pen as much.  As long as it's legible, I like cursive better.

 I like the way it "flows."

I typically prefer to write in cursive; my cursive is nicer than my print! (I just happened to be writing my grocery list when I saw this post; the entire thing is in cursive!:lol3
