So yeah, who uses what to write?

I use printing, because my writing makes Dr. wosshisname's printing look like something typed. About the only thing I use writing for is a signature.

Cursive.

I've used it since the second grade. I can't stand writing in print...

It's mostly a mess when I print, but too slow if I use cursive (plus I wouldn't be able to read it easily ), so I usually print.

Although lately, my handwriting has begun to get more legible .

My handwriting is comparable to what you would get if you dangled a piece of granite on a string and dragged it around some paper.

The strange part is that it's mostly legible for myself, but completely incomprehensible to others.

Definitely printing. Cursive takes way too long for me.

However, recently my printing has been becoming worse and worse. ._.

I use the keyboard primarily for a reason.

And it's some odd form of print.

I can't think of anything to write here.
----------------------------
My handwriting is basically fancy curved lines. In fact I doubt it could be called writting... It's more like, symbolic. Like a small curve means a small word, a large one with spikes in the begining and ending with a loop something else...

Yet I somehow can understand it perfectly.

Shiny new layout!
----------------------------------------------------

Printing... but it's sort of a half cursive print (My letters are very, very loopy, curved... etc)

Not to mention my pencil hardly leaves the page if possible <<

Hey, it's legible to most at least (Had to be... I had enough horror stories of teachers making students rewrite essays...) >>

My default handwriting is a kind of curvy, loopy print, and it seems to be getting sloppier and sloppier as of late. My cursive is unintelligible. ;;

Oh and don't even try to read my math notes...those things are impossible to decipher ;;;;

I write entirely in print, but it's very messy, and often my letters connect because I don't lift the pen up enough, so it comes out as a combo. Generally, I can read it, but unless I try(like for a writing Final or something), no one else can for the most part.

I write only slightly better than Xkeeper (or slightly worse when I'm stressed out/in a hurry), and only when I need to, since I seem to have developed a permanent cramp in my writing hand. This also makes drawing rather difficult.

Graphite, maybe? Or if you did mean granite, that certainly goes to show just how bad it really is.

Drag's Post #789
Print (a.k.a. manuscript), but I have a slightly different font than most.

Most notably, I have triangle 4's, and I've gotten in the habit of drawing textbook-style lowercase g's.

My uppercase Y's are slanty, and my lowercase y's are curved.

I put combo of both but I really use cursive more. I use print for formal things, important things and math, with the exception of a few variable that I use cursive for (L, etc.). Cursive is for everything else.

Print, with some corner-cutting cursive-like laziness.

How legible it is depends on how fast I'm writing.

I haven't written in cursive (besides my signature) since third grade. I like printing much better.

I can (usually) read my printing just fine, but to others, it's often incomprehensible.

Maybe I should be a doctor...

encryptedcursive. Most letters look identical in my writing and you can only really guess them by context...

No matter which I use, it's a mess. Print's not as bad. At least it's legible. Barely.

On top of that, when I write a note for myself, I skip entire phrases, leaving about three to five words that don't mean a thing - but they remind me of what I left the note for.

People don't seem to like reading what I write for some reason.
