Yantelope Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I had to start drawing a line through my z's because in higher-level calc classes I started having trouble telling the difference between 2's and z's, which can cause problems. Yeah, that too. Then you start throwing in the greek alphabet and it all goes to hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baguette Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I can write in cursive except capital letters, I just don't remember them. Also, I think my handwriting is pretty. Since I tend to be the one in my groups to do all the writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainetemplar Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'd like to think I can. Also I have a nice calligraphy pen I handle pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drag Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 i'd hope everyone was capable of joining their letters up it's not exactly difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 There's more to it than that, some of the letters are different. Like a cursive f is fucked up. @rtemplar: the only way that handwriting (the print) could get any girlier would be if you dotted your i's with hearts.

StrifeROKs Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 dotting it with hearts or smileys just makes it more personal. I mean, who doesnt do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. McFluffermutton Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Pfft. I'm half way through college and other than signing my name, I haven't written in cursive since middle school. Haven't had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was still in school, my handwriting was actually more similar to that. But I was still cool! @McFluffermutton: Manly, is that you?

Bouchart Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I can write cursive, but I rarely need to do that. Everything these days is typed. It seems like a waste, other than my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I can write in cursive and I can do it so people can read it, but my cursive isn't very pretty so I usually don't bother. If your cursive isn't pretty, it seems to defeat the purpose of writing in cursive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I was gonna draw up some really awesome graffiti-type work for this thread, but by time I got out all my pencils and started to sketch something out, my enthusiasm died. On topic: I'm pretty sure we learned cursive in the 2nd grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheermee Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 which is why my cursive looks like a second graders writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c hoertjes Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I can, but it looks like gibberish. I only do it when signing my name, and that usually looks like a doctor's signature. Of course, my print handwriting is barely above chicken scratches, so I'm just not blessed with the gift of penmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 So, my professor is writing on the white-board in cursive, and I've never really thought about it before, but it's a weird sensation: I can read the words just fine, but if I look at the individual letters they don't look like letters, they just look like meaningless squiggles. It's like if I could read Arabic without knowing the alphabet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staySICK Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 for some reason it won't let me vote, but yes I can write cursive, somewhat legibly, although the sheer nature of being left handed makes cursive a pain and the writing utensil used has a major impact on the legibility, as southpaws are more prone to smudged handwriting. Battra, your capital I's and S's are strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
