My professor just asked me to not write in cursive on a test, as my handwriting is so bad that she's unable to read it.
Should I bother trying to write properly in the future, or should I just continue to let all those valuable skills I learned in third grade waste away?
I once had a teacher return a blue-book to me in college and told me to type it up and turn it in. At least she didn't summarily fail me, which she could have done. Funny thing is, I had to get my roomate to help me decipher what I wrote, because I couldn't do it.

My cursive has been horrible since I learned how to do it. It doesn't look like a child's writing anymore, but it certainly is not what you would call legible.
I don't even really write in cursive; mid word it'll randomly switch between cursive and print lettering. Shit's joined in random places, and there's generally nothing that even resembles words on the page.

Yeah that's pretty much mine.

i was standing behind an asian girl in line somewhere and she had a fancy pda phone with a touchscreen and was texting somebody in chinese by drawing the characters on the screen. she was so freaking fast with it.
so from now on this is why i think most asians draw well : D
cursive is the most useless thing to learn ever, I swear.
I think they just teach you it so you can have a signature.
I swear I remember a teacher of mine telling me you have to write in cursive when making out cheques.
I was told that, come high school, we'll have to write everything in cursive. I believe I heard the same said of college. Also, you have to use pens, no pencils.

I was not only told that, I was told that your teachers would mock you and automatically fail your assignments if they were in print/pencil. Except for math: math I was told to never use pen, only pencil.
I never learned how to write in cursive, in all my college classes I just did all my work in standard print and they never gave me a problem. As long as you still get the credit for the class, does it really matter how your did the homework.

I think I was told that as well - and also, that, come 6th grade, we would all be sat down in front of a computer, a sheet put over our hands, and we'd all have to be able to type. I think I knew even in 3rd grade or whenever the hell that was that the story was complete bullshit.
Not that I didn't learn to type anyway, but still.

My handwriting goes from really neat to really sloppy, depending on the day, and I wind up writing in some strange bastardization of print/cursive.
Now that I think about it, I have not actually had a need to use cursive outside of school with the single exception to when I sign my name on a check or a legal document.
i always get stuck having to write all of the notes whenever i'm doing a group project
because my writing is so very legible
it's a combination of enjoying the fact that i am able to read my own writing
and my dad yelling at me any time my handwriting would get sloppy as a kid

i don't control how my handwriting comes out
it just is the way it is
yup

Edit: also my handwriting is diabolical and sometimes illegible even to myself
Unless your handwriting is so bad that even that can't help you
In that case, I guess get a seeing-eye dog to write it for you, or some shit. I don't know.
This reminded me of jazz.
Last night my girlfriend and I did a duet humming Take Five.
I was all layin' down the solid rhythm and she was soloing on top.

But just drawing pictures that vaguely represent the concepts I'm trying to get across does the job well enough; why should I adapt?
that is such bullshit.
how fucking slow do you write

Then that teacher was a useless idiot cuntbag
I've always written in print on my checks
In theory because you don't lift your pen off the paper as much but in practice, no it really isn't any faster. Not for me anyway.
Well i can
I'll get this urge to twitch the corner of my mouth. I discovered this logging in and out of the gym at college.
ALSO BLACK INK.

This is why I prefer to type things.

not Name In Cursive X___________________
When I first started writing checks it would take me forever.
Now I just print.
When I first wake up, I can't do either for shit. Checks that I've written at 7am look like a 3 year old wrote them.
Did it go on your permanent record?
