<p>I was wondering if it is better to use cursive or "print"? I have never been taught cursive but I kind of write some of my letters in cursive so I was wondering if it is worth switching to cursive.</p>
<p>Cursive is faster when it comes to writing, like, essays for tests.</p>
<p>But, I don't know anyone under the age of 60 who writes in cursive.</p>
<p>It's really up to you.</p>
<p>Always print or write however you naturally would. Specifically writing in cursive is a waste.</p>
<p>I wrote nothing but cursive from 5th to 10th grade. I stopped because of readability issues.</p>
<p>I still write cursive on AP exams, where time is a huge issue.</p>
<p>really? i write in cursive naturally because my mom made me when i was young.</p>
<p>i get compliments about my handwriting that way, and yes, it is faster to write in cursive ;P</p>
<p>I'm so slow writing in cursive that it's impossible for me to do it in a timed setting. I must be unique.</p>
<p>I write cursive to jot down notes, but I usually computerize it or else it becomes increasingly harder to read when reviewing.</p>
<p>I try to type whenever I can.</p>
<p>Cursive is the most worthless thing I've ever learned. Print all the way.</p>
<p>I write in cursive/print mix all the time. Though writing 100% in cursive in nice, a mix of both looks quite pretty. =]</p>
<p>I write faster in print. And I have great (or so I've been told) handwriting. (And I write ridiculously small, apparently).</p>
<p>Cursive is a waste.</p>
<p>Anyone ever have a class where you were actually forced to write in cursive? As in, the teacher will take off points if you don't write in cursive. I know that's a rule my 8th grade social studies teacher enforced. Probably the most ridiculous rule I've ever come across (and I've come across a lot of...odd ones).</p>
<p>In..third grade? haha.</p>
<p>Since I was forced to use cursive in grammar school, I'm faster with it. So I use it. </p>
<p>Print is more legible, but using cursive, if you're good with it, is quicker.</p>
<p>I was forced to use it in 5th grade and I'm still very fast and proficient with it, although it's less readable than my print handwriting.</p>
<p>I hate cursive.I write faster in print(go figure?) I did have a teacher in 6th grade who would subtract points if it wasn't in cursive.if im just jotting down notes I sometimes mix print and cursice lol..idk</p>
<p>I write cursive/print, its really weird.</p>
<p>Print ftw...I stopped cursive in 4th grade a week after I learned it.</p>
<p>I love writing in cursive. After I learned how to write it in third grade, I began to always write in it because I didn't want people to cheat off of my tests ;). I'm left handed, however, so it's much easier for me to write in it anyway. I do write much quicker also.</p>
<p>The problem that I had recently though is that two of my teachers said my handwriting would be unacceptable on the AP tests because of how difficult it is to read. This hurts me a bit because, to be honest, I find it very difficult to write in print. </p>
<p>Anyway, I vote for cursive as long as you don't let it get to out of hand and impossible to read ;).</p>
<p>In third grade, we were told all assignments in fourth grade would half to be written in cursive (only handwriting assignments ended up having to be). In fourth, they told us that fifth was all cursive, all the time (again, only assignments that were specifically to improve handwriting were). In fifth, they told us that we would fail middle school if we didn't write in cursive on every assignment.</p>
<p>I haven't used cursive since the end of fifth grade. I'm a rising senior in high school, and I haven't failed anything.</p>
<p>My teachers were such liars, and I sort of hate it because of that. Although my printing is sort of print/cursive combined anyway, so...</p>
<p>I forgot cursive, so it does not matter anyways. I always thought that print looked better, and it is possible to make an almost cursive out of print if you write fast enough.</p>
