I have been told I write "calligraphically". Interestingly, my handwriting is MUCH better when I write with an ink pen than when I write with a ballpoint. MUCH. My normal handwriting is a mix of cursive and printing - some letters connect and some don't.

flea is me.

I definitely got the old circle-and-stick, which I could tell was stupid even at the time.

My grandfather's handwriting was stunning. He printed a lot, but when he wrote in cursive, it was beautiful.

I'm a cursive writer since before I was officially taught to do it, and I find it almost impossible not to use cursive (as I keep rediscovering every time I have to fill out forms by hand).

We are as one. I hate printing, and my printing's a royal mess. Filling out college applications sucked.

Also, printing is slow.

My handwriting is awful. Like serial killer bad.

Wait--so printers, are you really talking about caps, or is it circle and stick?

I don't think we were ever taught to write that way, but that might have everything to do with being old school Commonwealth. We had writing class up until I was ten or so. They were quite ferocious about it.

I like writing. I currently enjoy making sure my cursive is consistent, matching general rules from school. I changed my handwriting a number of times in school--size, slant, choice of letter forms, and sometimes it makes my hurried notes look like blotter barf.

So I'm going back and separating each out. Making sure I put loops in my cursive ells, but not on the tees. Making sure this one form of a only goes with a specific form of e.

Neither, in my case. Although, looking at my notebook, it looks more like cursive than I would have thought. Just really crappy cursive.

Cool is pointy.
