I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My handwriting is awful. Like serial killer bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

What is even happening?
Somewhat related: Make your own font. Out of your own handwriting. Seems kinda' cool yet pointless to me....
Cool is pointy.

Because books.

Not caps, no. But not quite circle and stick either. Kind of a mutated version of script letters.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool is pointy.
I guess I'm thinking that it's cool, yet something I would never use.

Me too. And it's just gotten worse. To top it off, when I write I tend to eliminate letters and pesky vowels from words. Between the script and the shorthand, things are indecipherable--even to me.

I have to say, I was shocked at how bad my big-boss's handwriting is, because she's so very precise in most ways -- her speech, her deportment, etc. But her handwriting is for shit. Makes me wonder why.
