My cursive handwritings is better than when I print. It's my Dad who thought me how to write and so even at the early age of 5 my handwriting was already good. He was very diligent in teaching me so I already could do cursive writing at an early age and it resembled that of my Dad's handwriting. My friends admire my handwriting and when they express they admiration, I always tell them that my Dad was the one who taught me and his handwriting is better than mine.

I think my handwriting looks better in cursive than in print. But then over time I notice that I seem to prefer writing in print. I find I am always in a hurry and with computer and cellphones, I hardly ever write reports using my handwriting. But when I was like 9 or 10 years old, I did love scribbling on my school notebooks and buying long, colourful, and fragrant pens.

i use cursive and i am good at it and my handwriting is not all the best but yeti had never been told that it is bad and write clean and fair. i sue printing for giving heading and yes it looks more better then cursive and that is why most prefer it and it all depends on the way you started and then it becomes a habit. i tried to change my style but no way and now i am happy with cursive style.

To write faster, I write in cursive. For neater penmanship, I print. But generally, I do a mix!

Thanks to my constant use of computers these days my cursive handwriting is absolutely atrocious! If I wish to write anything that can be even vaguely understood anymore then it is best that I print the words! I think that the ability to write beautifully anymore is fast becoming a lost artform for many of us.

I guess maybe I prefer to write in cursive, but I think my handwriting looks equally well in either form of writing. My college professor looked at a page of my notes once, and asked me how I had time to type them all. I said I didn't type it, that is my handwriting (obviously printed handwriting). I guess it did look like typing, so I try to print larger when I am not writing in cursive.

I am more of a print writer, but sometimes I mix them haha. It is just more natural for me to write in print. I'm not a fan of my cursive writing. It looks like chicken scratch when I do write that way.
