Cursive vs. Print

[Callie]

A response to the Writing vs. Typing. Do you prefer to write/type in cursive or in print? Can you write and read cursive, do you think it should be taught in schools? I had to learn cursive in elementary school and I hated it. I used to be able to write it but now I can barely read it.

 

[Rawburt]

Print, the only thing I write in cursive is my signature.

 

[Bacon Boy]

I prefer print. If we're taking tests, though, we MUST write in cursive otherwise it's minus five or ten points.

 

[merinda!]

Well, I don't really prefer.
When I write it's a mix of both.
I can read those doctor's ones how it just looks like a scribble.
And, I don't see much of a point of cursive being taught in schools.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Print preferably, but eventually I'm going to need to re-learn cursive. They made this big deal about it in Elementary School and I've never really needed it since. So I find it somewhat hard to read.

 

[-Aaron]

I can neatly write both, and read both.

The only thing I write in cursive is my signature, but I honestly can't even remember the last time I printed my name. I sign all my papers in school and stuff.

 

[Pear]

We were taught it in Elementary school, but I never use it. My handwriting is a weird print-cursive hybrid. All my letters are in print, but I connect some letters, like in cursive.

^ This all the way, that's exactly how I feel.

 

[Ricano]

I haven't used cursive since the 6th grade. I only use it for signatures.

[Nic]

Never learned in Elementary and somewhat know how to write my first name but not my last. Plus none of my teachers care if you write print or not.

 

[coffeebean!]

My print is a sloppy mixture between cursive and print
I can read and write cursive, and my cursive is pretty but I prefer my version of print.

 

[EpicGamer12]

I can easily do Cursive Writing and Print. I can obviously as well read them.

 

[JCnator]

I can write and read printed letters, but I tend to make them ugly and take me more times.
I prefer cursive. It's much faster to write than print. My only catch is chance that letters can't be easily readed by someone else.

 

[Kanye Omari West]

I sorta use both

I make curves to connect my print

 

[Vivi]

Print. Cursive is completely obsolete now.

 

[lilypad]

print, it's easier to write and read.

 

[Princess]

I always end up writing cursive.

But I like both

 

[Charles]

I only use cursive to write my name on all my school work. Other than that, I don't use it nor has it been a necessity at any time in high school. It was necessary in elementary school because they thought it would be necessary later.
