Post your handwriting!

[Elesirdur]

I need everyone that posted your handwriting, to also post your mother's maiden name and social. Actually scratch that, I have your IP addresses, location, and handwriting, thats all I need.

If you can create a reasonable facsimile/forgery of my hand script you win teh internets.

It doesn't surprise me at all that there's really only one or two people besides me who write in some form of cursive hand. Some of the printing you folks have is very cool, especially Day and Az your styles are very neat.

However, it does make me wonder about the future of penmanship in the West. Will cursive-style handwriting eventually die out, only to be remembered by calligraphers, historians and antiquarians, and be entirely replaced by printing? Even though I don't know how to write in traditional cursive script, which is some form of specific and standardized style, I can't imagine writing in anything but a cursive form just for speed. I think back to writing final exams at university where I would produce 20 to 50 pages of handwritten text in 3 hours and cannot imagine having to do that by printing. I guess people just get very quick at the writing they adopt as their main form.

As a follow-up question, how many of you were ever exposed to cursive handwriting in school or were required to learn it? I use a cursive script because it was taught to us in my elementary school, but was not a "required" skill. (I guess that's what you get going to a private school which models itself on old-style English public schools.)

PS: Arabic is such a cool looking written script. I absolutely love Arabic calligraphy, especially signatures when they are turned into graphical designs or calligrams, very awesome.

I had to learn cursive, but I don't really use it anymore. No reason to.

LOL, that is my personal certificate of authenticity.

My cursive writing is dreadful - unless it's on a whiteboard for some strange reason (I can't print neatly on a whiteboard and can't write nicely in cursive on paper). I refused to join my writing at school as an act of rebellion and it's backfired now when I need to use joined writing with some year groups I work with.

Been working at a school recently where the kids have beautiful handwriting - I'm so jealous.

I was required to learn and write in cursive for a while, and although my print is very neat, my cursive is horrible... HORRIBLE. The thing is people don't even really write shit anymore, everything is typed so speed is really a non issue in the modern times of intel chips and intertubes.

I also had to learn cursive in 3rd grade... I hated it. The worst was when a teacher would make you write ENTIRE PAPERS in cursive. My cursive is so terrible that when I sign my name it never looks the same because I am no consistency.

Interestingly enough, my mother's handwriting is pretty much cursive/print combined... It is rather irritating. She will print her name, which looks like cursive, then when she signs it she just adds her middle initial. Haha

I went back and tried to write something in cursive the other day and most of it came naturally but a few letters were like blocked in my head, I literally stopped and couldn't figure out how to write them. Been so long I guess that I can't do it.

The only thing I do in cursive is my signature and it's pretty bawlin'. I will scan it tomorrow because it's really sexy.

That reminded me of the Billy Madison scene where he had to write Pizza or something with a Z in cursive and it came out looking like some kind of fucked up lightning bolt.

I like it how all of my elementary school teachers said we'd be using cursive for the rest of our lives. 2 years later I never used it again. So anyway
