Handwriting: Cursive or Unjoined?

I hold my pen like a claw so my writing is pretty crazy. We used to have handwriting lessons where we wrote stuff out of books, but nobody told us when we were getting it wrong so I just chose the way I liked to make my letters. Lots of loops, spiky, and all the little letters like 'n's and 'i's end up being one long squiggle. But yes, I write joined-up.

I prefer to write in print aka unjoined writing. My scrip aka cursive sucks and I can't read it when I do try to write in cursive. But print is better for me and far more neater then my awful scrip.

I prefer cursive just because it's pretty and quicker to write in. Also, it seems that the art of cursive is sort of slipping away. A lot of kids can't write in cursive, so it gives me a pretentious sense of satisfaction.

I always write joined up. It's neater & faster. My writing also looks a tad fancy lol

I can write in pretty much any style, but I tend to use cursive for classroom notes (so that my book looks professional and pretty), letters and notes to people, but unjoined for EXAM notes and things I really want to make clear to people.

I prefer cursive, since it takes a bit more talent to write it; but I appreciate the neatness of unjoined writing too.

However, my favourite kind of writing is backwards writing, like how da Vinci wrote his letters. When I write cursive...I write MAJORLY beautifully cursive backwards (sorry about the lack of modesty here), with humungous loops and spirals so it looks like a totally different language.

If I don't want people to know what I've written, though, I tend to stick to a professional scrawl, which it took me a few weeks to master when I thirteen. I even had a few lessons from a master scrawler!

Or then again, failing that, I could just write in any one of the five languages I know...

Cursive!
I did go through a fase where I'd only write unjoined but in reality curisive was quicker and not to seem aarogant but my handwrting looks quite good

It depends what I'm doing. When I try to, my print writing is REALLY neat. No joke. I use that most of the time. Also, when I'm going really fast, usually when I'm writing a story in a notebook--most of the time I usually just type it out on Word--it's a combo of the two, and seriously illegible. I almost never do cursive because only I can read that. And I can BARELY read it. And if I take the time to make cursive really neat, it looks stupid, like a third grader did it. Probably because after learning it in third grade, I didn't use it at all. Seriously, I even had to relearn some letters, like G, F, T, and Q. I'm not even kidding.

I think I use a mixture of the two. Because one I don't write in cursive but I go slanted and connect my letters most of the times. And other times there is unjoined letters. My handwriting is weird, but people say its pretty. Shrugs

I have pretty much always written in unjoined just because I can't even read my writing if I try to write in cursive, plus I hold my pen funny so unjoined is easier lol

My mom insisted that I write in cursive all through elementary and middle school, insisting that it would be super-important in high school. Oh, the lies one is forced to endure.

My cursive never looked that good though and I preferred print/unjoined. Now, I write in a sort of hybrid, where letters sort of run together and join up. But if I were to try to actually write in cursive, it would be fairly illegible.

I selected both. My English writing is half print (unjoined) half joined (cursive) some letters I write in a more curved and joined fashion than other letters I write. My As in particular cannot be connected when lower case. The capital ones I do connect though.

Also, all my Russian is in cursive though. Cuz that's what standard Russian writing is.

My first school taught strict cursive, so when I switched in the 5th grade I was surprised that we were allowed to write "unjoined". I was very stubborn at first, until I was embarrassed while we were doing a group project that I was apparently writing slow (the old school taught quality over quantity; the exact opposite of what the new school taught). Since then I haven't written in cursive.

My writing is sort of a scribble between the two. It's pretty illegible and I hate it most of the time. Writing unjoined usually just takes too long for me. I tend to take longer with cursive too, just because I haven't used it in so long. I love cursive though, especially really pretty, long letters... I should write in cursive more. But basically, I write with scribbles. I'll blame that on being a doctor's daughter.

Mine's kind of both :/ Loopy and kinda of connected sometimes, haha =P

I'd prefer unjoined, although both handwriting suits me. Most people says I have very good penmanship whether unjoined or cursive, but I'd like my unjoined writing more. From 1st grade up to 6th grade, I write on my cursive penmanship. Since I started high school, I got used to writing unjoined. Now I'm not that used to writing cursive.
