do you write in cursive or in print? which handwriting type looks better?

I write mostly by print. I have gotten use to that when we weren't forced to write in cursive anymore. Without continued cursive practice, my cursive handwriting deteriorated. I'd really want to write better with my crusive though. Some friends I know who write crusive pretty well make it look like the pen is just sliding on the paper as they write. I on the other hand feel that I'm rather dragging the pen when I do cursive. When I write in print, some letters look similar like my 'u', 'n' and 'v' looks all alike, for some reason but, when others read it, they'd relatively figure it out.

I usually print. If I am writing a letter then I use cursive. But since email, that is few and far between. My handwriting tends to be a bit bubbly. My hubby has the handwriting of a doctor. It is barely legible.

I sometimes write in cursive and sometimes I print. I even sometimes find myself switching halfway through a sentence. I think that my cursive looks better than my print most of the time.

I like to print because people have difficulty reading my writing. Sometimes they even have difficulty reading my printing. I admire people who have really nice handwriting but unfortunately that is not me.

for some reason i am just more comfortable printing but it does take longer so if i am in a hurry i use script. i think cursive generally looks nicer but then again if someone has lousy handwriting printing is probably the way to go for them.

hi die. i always wrote in print. even in school when i was younger, i've always wrote in print. i can write in the cursive style but i prefer to write in print. i've gotten into trouble with my teachers back then but eventually everythign was sorted out and they let me write in print. i remember i was the only one in class writing in print and my classmates envied me. i have good hand writing and both my cursive and print handwriting are really eligible. it just a personal preference to write in print i guess.

Much as i prefer cursive handwriting, but i will still stay with print handwriting.. LOL ^_^ Because partly i'm a left handed person and also i dun have much interest in wirting too.. lOL ^_^ I often envy ple with very nice and beautiful cursive hand writing and no matter how i train myself to prefect it, i will still end up with chicken scratch or even worse.. LOL =D Wat's more, my print writing is also much like chicken scratch too.. LOL

I perfer to print cause it looks neater. Some times i can write in cursive an it looks good but then there are times when I can't read it or someone else can't read it. I print more so it can be read by others.

I don't only write in both print and cursive. I write in both print and cursive in the same word. LOL! So, I may start a word in print and finish it in cursive, or vice versa. LOL! I don't know why I do it that way. I even sign my name like that. It is something sort of unique to me I guess. I don't know anyone else that writes like I do using both styles. So, I guess I would have to say that I like both equally. And, while my mom thinks my handwriting is pretty, I hate it. I think it is a mess. I am left handed which typically means that I smudge pen and pencil across the page as I drag my fist across the page. And, you can tell when I try to avoid that telltale smudge because my handwriting gets worse! LOL! Same with if I am writing in a binder or spiral notebook. I have to try to avoid that spiral and, you can see it in my handwriting. And, to top it all off, my dad is a left handed doctor! LOL! So, since I take after him in most ways, I was doomed to have bad handwriting. LOL!

I write both print and cursive. Most of my words start with print and end with curvive. It really depends on what I'm writing and how my pen flows.(:

I'm used to write in print. But when I was in elementary and high school, we were required to write in cursive style.

My handwriting is sort of a hybrid of cursive and print. I don't pick my pen up very often when I write, so most of my letters end up being connected, but I do write in print. People always tell me they like my handwriting too, which is weird because I don't think it looks that great.

I use cursive always unless i have to write in print. I think print probably looks better but i still like cursive better to write in.

I generally print because I think it's easier for people to read, with the separated letters and all. However, I will tend to hand write if a) I'm in a hurry - writing in so much faster than printing or b) I want to make my letter look pretty. :) I will on occasion loop a few letters together when I'm printing like e's and i's. But that's about it. It's funny that we learn to print first, then hand write, then a lot of people go back to printing.

I print sometimes if I am in a hurry to write something that does not mount to much, like a list of things to buy or have to do for the day. If I am writing something important, I like to write in cursive. My best handwriting is when I use cursive writing. My husband likes to write with a doctors signature and you cannot even read it. I hated that. I now have him writing to where it is at least legible. I think he likes it better now too.

Hi dierdre! I write mostly in print cos my cursive really "socks". But I remember when I was in the 5th to 6th grade I enjoyed my cursive handwriting. I think it was only in high school that I really noticed that my cursive looks bad and that my print was more readable. Haha!

i think i learned to write in cursive when i was around that grade too... i didnt get it though, i mean, i didnt get why they had to teach us how to write in cursive when we already know how to write in print. part of learning i guess. the school wasnt exactly strict on a 'must write cursive' way but it was encouraged. i hate writing in cursive. hehehe... probably because my cursive looks ugly. haha.. and i write slow when i do it. just like what you said 'you tend to 'beautify' cursive handwritings'. so i dont really like to use it.

I use the link script style. Part print part cursive. That way no tells me my writing is illegible. So find a comfortable writing mode and use it.

I have long left school and college and I am now working.The age when I used to write seems a distant one.From the time the internet and computers have infiltrated every aspect of our lives,I doubt I have put pen to paper more than 4-5 times a week and that too just for jotting down somethings.When in school I used to write in print and then of course the stress on cursive writing produced some irregualrly shaped words and sentences from me!!!Now my writing is a mix of both print and cursive.And I no longer pay attention to the beauty of my handwriting.It is legible and neat though.:-)

I prefer to write in print when I am not in a hurry. But, when, I am taking down notes or jotting it, I use my uber doctor handwriting, where as I am the only person who can understand what I wrote.
