After about 6th grade I stopped using cursive. Just never made sense to waste time and effort writing something that can't be read, no matter how efficient it is.
But I never had trouble with taking notes. You get pretty fast at writing print if you do it all the time.
I still remember my college professor's surprise when I handed in a handwritten, but totally legible, essay complete with proper use of italics. For some reason people think you can't handwrite italics.
- nerdponx 4y agoI did the same, around the same time in my life, but I found that my print writing couldn't keep up. Hence my desire and effort to switch back to cursive once I left school. One of my engineer friends has picture-perfect print handwriting, like a gothic sans serif font. It's very impressive at how fast he can write and still have each letter look tidy and uniform.
