Recently, I re-learned my cursive so I could start writing birthday and congratulatory cards in a traditional manner. From teaching myself cursive again, I have learned to embrace it hardcore now, haha.

I have atrocious penmanship (it goes well with my garbage spelling).  I only print, and then, as little as possible.

90% of the time. The other 10% is when I know an imbecile is going to read my handwriting. Yeah it’s bullsh*t having to change my style and simplify things for idiots, but hey, they outnumber the rest of us.

that's how my Dad got around his bad hand writing, he just goes super slow and writes everything in capitals.  I've tried it, but I guess I'm too lazy or something.

I can, but my handwriting has always been atrocious, so I usually print.

When I was in grade school, handwriting (cursive) was a regular course each year, and you got a grade on it.  In grades 1-3, I got C's in handwriting every year.  The next summer, my mom had me practice writing for a half hour every day, and in the fourth grade I got an A in it.  But I didn't keep up the practice, and was back to a C the next year.

In handwriting? Sort of. On the computer? Barely, or just individual words or phrases for a certain purpose.

Almost always cursive, but occasionally print, especially if I'm dealing with acronyms.

I used to have nicer handwriting but once I started spending a lot of time on the computer typing, my handwriting has gotten lazy and lousy.  I barely do any handwriting now.

It’s an unholy mixture, depending on the letter and sometimes the word.

Almost entirely in cursive when writing notes and other things for myself, but I know I have awful handwriting, so I usually try to print when I'm writing stuff that other people have to read.

Overwhelmingly print.

But I tend to use cursive on those rare occasions I'm handwriting a long essay in paragraph form.

Only my signature.

Everything else is printed capitals only.

I copied my mother's printed style. I always admired by parent's handwriting.

Print only.
It is my understanding that there are many school districts (mainly in the mid-west) that do not teach cursive writing any more, to any of their students.
I feel it will die-out 50-100 years from now. With computers/cell phones dominating everything we do, print(ed) lettering we read, type (push buttons), or print on to paper, is the future.

I know a lot of conservatives disagree with me, but I see no point to cursive.  I would say I use it for my signature, but my signature is honestly wholly illegible.

They don't teach anything else to their students either, unfortunately.

I write everything in cursive and I look down on those who don't.
