| Where I live, cursive was taught and practically enforced from 2nd grade, but was it the same for you? And if that was the case, how many of you still use it today as an adult? Personally, I've long since dropped using it. It's not that I hated it or anything, but I can manage to write in block just as fast. But what about you? Do you still write in cursive? |
| My signatures are in cursive, and I wrote my name normally if it says “Print Name”. I was taught cursive at a pretty young age, yeah. |

| I rarely write in manuscript form these days, but when I do then sometimes cursive, for example when I write my signature. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| It was mandatory in Soviet schools (and I'm thankful for it). But they went full-retard for more modern Western-like education system and dropped it in the mid/late 90s. |
| We were required to turn in any non-typed schoolwork in cursive from 2nd through 8th grade. I kept it up in high school, I guess just out of habit, and because it was quicker for taking notes, though they were so messy that I doubt anyone but me could read them. I dropped it pretty much immediately after high school, though. It’s been so long since I wrote more than my name in cursive that I’m not even sure I could still do it. |
 |
| I only use it for signatures. Otherwise I print everything. |
 |
| i'm 28 and we learned it in 3rd grade but after that, i never used it. We started moving to typing out essay's and i'd always just print write. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| Me, except one problem… Handwriting is really bad. They look like scribbles |
We all hate it when you forget about your deadline until last minute     |
| I no longer write on paper as an adult. I used to write cursive in university, but I stopped writing. |
| I don't but my writing is so bad that it turned into a cursive on its own |

| @Exhumatika Funny considering that I received "Western education" and learned it in school in the early 2000s. |

| @Exhumatika Most western countries still require you to write in cursive to this day, so I don't know what your rant is about. Probably nothing grounded in reality, as usual. OT: always written in block. I'm just not meticulous enough to achieve anything readable with cursive lol. Which is weird because I draw pretty well ๐ค |

| Here it was the same. I stopped cursive because too much overlapping on {o, r, j, g} . t and i are taught lifting the pen anyway. I have the impression fast strokes destroy pen ballpoints when there is not much paper under it. From cursive I naturally evolved into my "block" letters. But my x in math is still cursive. |

| @Exhumatika Pretty retarded for you to write that about Americans. First of all, they dropped cursive in schools for Gen Alpha. In the 90's we had cursive as I can write and understand it. Thanks. |
| I use it for signing my name. I also write names in cursive for fun, like drawing |

| If it’s Latin or Cyrillic I write in cursive. If it’s kanji — only block because kanji in cursive are a nightmare. |

| yep i had to learn really early bc our school wanted us to be able to read historical documents ๐ญ i still write in cursive bc i think it looks better and its quicker for me |
| I was taught it in school (also in 2nd grade actually) but never adopted it into my writing style I guess? I mainly just write in rushed blocks. |

| I can still do it, I just don't feel the need to. Usually reserved for my signature |

| I still do but I can guarantee you that I have the worst hand writing ever. |

| @Exhumatika Yes, Europeans are often filled with bullshit about any type of history regarding Americans. That's true. Meanwhile you guys still make only half of what we make here. But oh no, you're better off, much smarter right? haha, I have to love the stereotypes. |
| When writing for others, I write in either all print or slightly cursive for the sake of legibility. When signing my name for others, or when I'm just writing stuff for myself, I write in all cursive. I just like the look of cursive way more. 3rd grade was when I learned how to write in cursive, but I didn't actually learn how to do it in a more visually aesthetic sort of way until my mid 20s. |
| I still do, mainly because I can write in cursive faster than printing. |
| tbh I've actually been writing like everything in cursive ever since like last year |
| If you're good at writing in cursive, block shouldn't be anywhere near as fast. I was a nurse, so I always write in block capitals to avoid confusion where possible. But when I write notes for myself or something that doesn't need to be written "properly" (ie. official stuff), I write in cursive. Because it is just that much faster. Thing is, I mostly only write official things these days. It's been a while since I had to "write" something. I also have a third writing style for taking "important" notes (for posterity), but that's just because I like having my notes a certain way. If it's a quick "jotting down a reminder" kind of note, it's in cursive. |

| I do from time to time. Though I would imagine like many it's usually just my signature. Depends on what I'm writing on. |
 |
| None of my teachers taught it and only 1 teacher required it. |
| ใใฎ็ฎใ ใใฎ็ฎ๏ผ |
| Was forced to learn it. Was fast but often couldn't read my own scribbles anymore... (and the teachers even less of course). Dropped it after school. Now I write in block... it's very slow but luckily I don't need to write much at all in my job. And at least others can decipher it. Wish we could have learned other writing styles from the get go instead of being forced to adapt a writing style that never produced readable results for me. |
| Recently, I wrote letters to some of my relatives. I may write others in a few days as a matter of fact. It's old and slow for sure, but it feels nice to do, and sending the letters from abroad is kinda neat (also waiting for it to arrive).  My cursive is horrible though, I'm one of those left handed people that never got it right as a kid, teachers hated reading me for that. I like the touch of paper, still. |
 |
| Same situation as you, and I never use it! Signatures don't count. I think calligraphy is beautiful though, and I'd like to properly learn that. Not enough time in the world for the things I'd like to learn. |

| I learned that in second grade, too, and probably continued until fourth grade. But now I only write in block capitals because it's easier to read and you write faster that way. :D |

| I was taught how to do it but I never use it since I write faster normally |

I can, but i don't guarantee anyone else will be able to read it lol Fun fact: when i was in 2nd grade i got banned from writing in cursive for how bad the teachers had to strain to decode what i wrote :D |
| I write in cursives when I write in my diary, since I don't really need to read it again, but for groceries lists and TRPG character sheets, I write in print since my cursive is bordeline unreadable. |
| Please do not get offended by my takes; I have shit taste. |
| I write in block letters even though my cursive has become more readable by several years ago, but it also depends on the writing utensils. Pretty sure I've posted some pictures in some older thread |
| Still? I never wrote in cursive. In grade 3 they tried to teach us but I couldn't get the hang of it. Even my printing is kinda garbage. I'm too used to typing. |
  |
| I don't even write by hand at all anymore, unless it's some paper document baloney where it's necessary, and I almost never have to do these anyway |
