Handwriting style

[PurpleMetro]

Ok, so lately people have been telling me that me writing in regular print is bad. I was taught to write cursive in like the second grade or something, but 2 grades later, they made me stop writing in cursive since I moved schools.

Now since i'm in 7th grade, it doesn't matter if you write print or cursive, but I still need help.

If I write in cursive, the PROS are I write better, and neater, and it just feels more elegant for me. The CONS are it takes more time for me to write, and some people like my friend can't read it.

If I write in print, the PROS are I write faster and I can multitask (write on paper, while looking at what I have to write). The CONS are my handwriting is somewhat sloppy and terrible, since I write fast.

So yeah, which one is better?

I always print nowadays, I've always hated cursive and ever since I stopped having to use it I never did again, besides my signature.

Although I'm getting in the habit of writing in block letters a lot more now too, basically just caps, KINDOF LIKE THIS BUT SMALLER AND IT LOOKS NEAT.

Block letters sound like a good idea. I can picture myself writing like that now. I would possibly adapt to this style, except my teachers might confront me about it.

Like, in my old days, I used to write semi-leetspeek. Replace i's with 1's, and o's with 0's. Nobody complained about it for 6 months, until my english teacher somehow had enough of it, so I switched back to regular print

You must be backward

Usually the advantages to cursive are that it is faster (with practice) and more elegant, but print is usually more readable, even if it looks at times more childish.
My handwriting looks like that of a ten year old, but no one has trouble reading it because the letters are distinct and clear.  My grandma writes in cursive and my sister and I usually need to call in the help of my dad to help decode what all the little identical loops mean.

Pretty much that. My mom writes in Cursive Print, meaning she combines both. Its literally impossible to read.

I write in a medium-paced print and people say I write like a pre-teen girl

[weaver123]

I print neatly and my letters are sharp. My s looks like a lightning bolt.

I can write both cursive and print decently. however, i find that I can write faster in cursive than i can in print.

My handwriting switches randomly from a cursive style to print. And sometimes I'll cap something mid word, I try not to but it happens. Atleast I use punctuation and capitalization right aside from the random letters.
Very few people understand what I write unless I write real slow.

[Wynd_Fox]

I write in, like, joined mstar fishcript. It's mstar fishcript, but I'm too lazy to pick up my pencil.

[Demian]

My cursive is fast but unreadable and print is slow but pretty. I use cursive because I've always used it.

[Becquerel]

I use cursive too but 99% of the time I cant read my handwriting. With print, its even worse.

[danisaac5]

I only use one type of handwriting: stuff
Not really its just a non intended sloppy version of cursive.

I used to write in small-caps :O

I can't read anything in cursive, but i can read everything on print. also i have my own language set up so i write in that a lot. even on assignments.
