    Like others have stated I only use cursive for my signature.

    My print typing is pretty horrendous, when I write notes for classes its fairly comical. I have a tendancy to completely skip letters or merge letters together lol.

    As for my signature, it looks pretty bad too, but not in that "cool messy" way. You know, how people sign their names and you can't read it but it looks kinda neat anyway. Mine more like a 5 year old got a hold of a pen and tried to scribble his name, it just looks pathetic lol.

    Cursive for my signiture, but otherwise I write in all caps and have pretty girly handwritting IMO aka you can read it easily and it looks neat.

    Depends what time of day it is and how interested I am when it comes to my handwriting. I can look at my notes from my 8:30 a.m. class and they look completely shitty looking compared to my notes from my 11:45 class.

    I'm left handed, so people always think it's weird that I have nice, legible handwriting for some reason.

    That reminds me of my handwriting if I was a woman.

    I forgot all of the cursive except my signature, so I just write normal. ._.

    Same here. I sign my signature in cursive, but I'm so "ehh whatever" about it, my signature is never exactly the same. If I am taking notes or just writing something CAPS LOCK PRINTING.

    I have been told my print is legible and easy to read, so it gets the message across.

    You can't really count signatures, because they HAVE to be cursive. However, I had a friend in high school who wrote in all capitals ("small" letters would literally be smaller than the letters at the start of a sentence). I tried doing it for a day just to see if I could, but it looked like I was yelling on paper. =\

    I print, but tend to use a cursive style on certain letters that connects them together. So it's kind of like a hybrid. I've forgotten how to write entirely in cursive.

    The only form of cursive I'll use is my illegible "Doctor's autograph" I use on anything that requires a signature.

    After 5 years of marking kids' work - I pride myself on being able to decipher most writing people claim is illegible.

    The worst writing I've ever come across is my mother's - she's a journalist by trade and her writing is a mix of scrawl morphed with shorthand squiggles - I used to have to translate absence notes she sent in to school because the teacher couldn't read it. (I did, however, manage to learn to fake her writing perfectly to sign school stuff when I was a kid)

    Haha...my mom is pretty much the same...

    She once left me a note, and I could have sworn she wrote for me to have an abortion.

    I've never been pregnant.

    But my style of handwriting is mostly printed, with some cursive here and there to connect some letters.

    lol, win. My handwriting is nice when I'm actually trying to make it look decent; aka not during the morning. So I guess I'm the same as Belle.

    I haven't written cursive since middle school, I don't even remember how.
    Printing ftw.
