I don't think too many people use it these days... Except for doctors.

 

I think cursive is just too impractical, as it is harder to read and slower to write.

So no I don't use it.

No.

 

I have always written in a messy print where I connect a lot of letters without trying.  My signature is just my name written excessively fast.  It looks like cursive so it works.

I use it when scribbling notes at my desk, usually for a game which has logic puzzles etc. But i don't use it on proper documents, or anything which i send to someone else.

Why would you not write in cursive?

When taking notes, there is no other option.

My fine motor control is absolute shit, so that'd be a no.

Do not  as I  do, and  not  as I say. Instead do as you may..

I only use it for signatures.

I was taught how to read and write cursive in general but found it useless because I had already spent most of the time I read and wrote in manuscript so changing was stupid to me. I also cursives capabilities to be understood were based ENTIRELY on the persons hand writing so having to decipher my own notes and writings seemed mental.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.

I don't ever write at all anymore unless is paychecks, credit card recipes and legal documents like work contracts. Everything else is digital nowadays, and as someone with terrible hand writing I'm glad.

you're really young so maybe you weren't taught it in school/not forced

Of course I know what it is, Like the old style thingy that supposedly makes you write faster :P

 

Yeah, I was taught in school... Never used it at all. Made me write slower more than anything.

Mine's a hybrid of joined and unjoined. People say I have really neat writing, so I don't care about how I write the letters :P

I write in cursive for almost everything. If someone else has to look at it then I'll write normally.

Cursive is just faster for me.
