    I have left-handed cockroach trails. My cursive signature looks like I was in a seizure.

    Thank god for keyboards.

    What I was going to do was put an option for the link to that picture that was in Judah's sig for the longest time, but I couldn't find it and was too bored to wait so I just posted it. =\

    I write in cursive handwriting all the time. It's not particularly good, and at about the fortieth paghe of a 3-hour History exam it's damn near illegible. My printing looks like a three year old did it though.

    I always found it kind of strange that 90+% of men I see just print and never handwrite (either because they never learned or it takes too much effort), whereas with women it's predominantly handwriting or very neat printing. This is something I've seen while I'm at university and at work on a regular basis. In fact, the only girls with bad writing of any kind (that I know of) seem to be really super-artsy types in theater/literature/creative writing/etc. who are a little scatterbrained to begin with. Sometimes the dumbest girls have the neatest writing - but it still looks like they're in fourth grade.

    Gah which reminds me... my Psyc professor last semester had the messiest fucking writing you could ever imagine. There were many parts of my notes where in the middle of the sentence it would be "...word word word word _____ _____ ______ word word _______." I guess it went hand-in-hand with the fact he talked 400 MPH and slurred all his words together, effectively making the class useless.

    In my opinion cursive is becoming obsolete because you use more computer's because they are put in more and more classrooms every day. Soon enough your kids will be sitting in front of a computer in 1st grade and maybe even kindergarten. Not the whole day but to learn the basics of everything. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually we only use writing 1% of the time! But maybe I'm very wrong and some shit will happen to the computers and they will stop working and we will have to revert back to everything on pen and paper!

    I've always always wanted really nice handwriting but mine is crappy because when they tried to teach us cursive handwriting at school I was a little shit and refused to do it.

    Mine varies depending on what I'm doing (and the age group I'm teaching) - I can do joined "teacher writing" if I have to - but it looks a right royal mess (my board writing never goes in a straight line either).

    i print in all capital letters (been doing this for about 5+ years now).

    what's funny is that i almost never use capital letters (like so) in any type of forums etc, and it drives my ls insane when i post important things.

    can't imagine what they'd say if they ever saw my notes from class.
