I use a combination that's closer to printing.

I rush when writing, but I'm still the slowest writer I know. :|

(I searched for this, nothing came up for cursive or handwriting)

Printing. I used to write all cursive and fancy in primary school, 'cause they told us to. I dunno why I broke the habit.

_________________

I haven't used cursive since 4th grade, except for my signature, despite being told about a million kazillion times that that's all later teachers would accept.

Yeah, we were taught cursive in 3rd grade, and the only other time that it was mandatory was in 7th grade English. I did use it throughout 8th grade though, but I quickly went back to printing in 9th grade. It's a dying writing style where I'm at, and 99.9% of the people I know use printing nowadays.

EDIT: Plus, despite the teachers telling us that it was quicker to write things in cursive, I was always slow with writing that way. Printing allows me to write at least twice as quickly.

Yeah, my old teachers always used to say "Everyone in the real world uses cursive", but I haven't seen anyone use it since (except for signatures).

So, print.

I print. Although I have used cursive in a few letters.

Printing is a lot easier to read than cursive. Sometimes my letters look more joined up, but that's just because my handwriting's so bad.

This is a good example of my typical handwriting: http://andsean.deviantart.com/art/Crazy-16326646. But I also do a lot of fonts, depending on what I'm writing (a look at some of my comics shows this). I've completely forgotten how to do cursive at all.

I used to write cursive, when I was a kid but when I was ten I got all rebellious and changed to weird printed letters. Now It's a weird mixture. Ugly, ugly handwriting.

Where is the Italics option?

I guess I'm the, 'A combination closer to printing/block letters', option.

My handwriting is really bad when I'm rushing. Usually I print, but everything just runs together so it looks kinda like cursive. I used to do cursive all the time back when I was 10 or 11 but then one year I just stopped. And I've never gotten back into it.

According to my tenth grade English teacher, it's impossible to write italic letters by hand. Only computers can do it. She also talked about how to kill yourself when we read Romeo and Juliet so I don't think she's a reliable source of information.

I print my letters and they come out kind of girly if I write neatly but ultra-manly and hard to read if I write quickly.

Well, you're tenth grade English teacher is extremely unreliable. I actually took a class for italic and calligraphic handwriting.

Pretty much 90% printing, although sometimes I'll slip in and out of cursive when I write.

The word that describes my handwriting most, however, is "bad".

The closest thing that can be said about my handwriting is that it's a "combination". Through the years my style of writing has evolved into an amorphous shape that can be neat if want to, but most of the time resides in a quantum state in which any arbitrary letter can be made to look like any other arbitrary letter if the need should arise. This helps significantly if I'm unaware of spelling

If my handwriting was any better, I could be a doctor. My handwriting is a combination of all of those.

Exactly.

All my teachers now just want it all typed. That's not even as hard to do as printing. =/

Horrible.

Well, I went with the majority, because that's how I write. And my handwriting is garbage. It's sort of humorous.

I learned cursive in second grade, promptly stopped using it as soon as I realized all that BS about only accepting things in cursive later on was exactly that, and recently started using it again, mostly because cursive writing in general is dying and I feel rebellious. Schools are starting to not teach it anymore because it's a pretty useless skill.

It doesn't make much sense, either - spend a year and a half teaching kids how to write one way, and then re-teach them how to write using symbols that look nothing like the letters they know. Tell them that this is the way they have to write from now on, and then send them off to teachers who will let you write whichever way is easier to read, who will subsequently send them off to teachers who just want you to type everything anyway. And then these same kids are made to submit essays and forms that have to be typed, and in fact writing/filling them in by hand is unacceptable.

My handwriting is a mix of print and cursive, and legible, usually. It's small, too. For some reason it's gradually shrinking over the years. I fear that by the time I've graduated my handwriting will require a microscope to read.
