So I'm working for a friend. This week she has me entering contact information into a database from people who write in to her. Problem is these niggas insist on writing in cursive. I don't want to sit around trying to decipher everyone's goddamn Hylian. >:V

    Cursive is the sign of proper education, those who print are likely to be less educated.
    This is what my education has taught me, and from my experience so far in the UK it isn't too far off.

    Well cursive is done from like age 6, so it is regarded as the proper and common writing method. 
    Personally I prefer how you can flow letters together.

    Those who can't are regarded as less educated, my examples come from the majority of those who are chavs.

    Edit:
    To make it clear I'm still referring to the UK only like my first post in this thread.

    Ian... your posts...


    You seem to be making assumptions that such notions are widespread outside your culture and even valid, and ignoring that print tends to be much more legible and thus practical.

    Oh no I've clarified in the UK in my first post.
    I also mentioned that it was what my years of education have taught me.
    I've not said anything about any other culture, only my own.

    My personal view is as already said: I like cursive as the flowyness of the letters.
  • DonZabuDonZabu
    The way I write, the letters flow together, but the letters still look like print. I'll see if I can get a photo of my handwriting.

    Damn. Sorry.

    For some reason I was thinking you agreed with those perceptions. You can see how the first one could be misleading though, right?

    No worries.

    I like cursive, but it doesn't really matter how people write. However the education system teaches it from base over here so it is regarded as the norm.

    What the fuck is wrong with the UK

    As said, cursive is the norm.
    Printing when an adult is as I've been taught, 'less educated'.

    Eh, that's true in other places (or at least around here) to an extent, but nobody really cares past a point.

    It depends on who's writing. Some people manage to make cursive legible, some write it as if it's calligraphy (i.e. really pretty, but totally unable to follow), and some just suck at writing in cursive and somehow make it look like complete shit.

    Then again, I guess that's pretty obvious.

    My handwriting is super-small and super-neat. I do my "a's" with the hook on top, my "g's" with the reverse bottom squiggle, and my "z's" with the cross through them.
