I have never in my life written anything in cursive that wasn't my signature or a requirement for an assignment. Perhaps you could add idle curiosity occasionally as I check to see if I even remember how. In the world of computers there is almost no need for it at all. If/when they come up with an alternate means of signing documents that becomes standard, it will die out entirely.

 

Funny you should say this. At our company, managers approve and route documents electronically in order to save printing and time.

I use cursive quite often. I'm sure it's a generational thing. What really bothers me is the lousy spelling and general destruction of English grammar. I must admit there are posts on BGP that are just excruciating to try to read and understand.

The way my mom reacts to my terrible cursive is the same way I react to her "hunt and peck" typing on the computer.

 

Like using a slide rule and declining nouns in Latin, it's just not an incredibly valuable skill these days.

I use both cursive and small caps printing. Just depends on what I'm feeling that day.

I use a combination of print/cursive when I write. It's my own handwriting style. :lol2:

 

Some sentences will contain words written both ways, some even contain words with a mixture of cursive and print. I like to keep it fresh.

I combo print and cursive.

 

 

I just can't understand how people sign their names in print however... When I hear "sign your name" I expect cursive or some form of it.

Old-school cursive here. Age is no doubt a factor.

Me too.

To add to my prior:

 

I take a lot of notes, so I do write in cursive a lot because of speed concerns, and have developed my own shorthand of combining certain words together to make it easier on it.

 

If I'm writing something someone else has to read, however, I will print.

Recently a prospective students mother asked me if I required students to write in cursive. I almost said I prefer that they don't.

I am mostly cursive. I take notes in meetings in cursive, then add any action items to my to do list in print, then add them to my outlook task bar with deadline dates.
