Does Anyone Write in Cursive Anymore?
I learned cursive handwriting in elementary school like everyone else, but by the time I was in high school, we were being asked to type essays and other papers. I confess… I can barely write in cursive now. Writing in print became the norm and I’ve just never felt the need to write in cursive.
Yes, I even sign my checks in print.
When I had special book signings upon the release of Red Letters in 2004, I was embarrassed to sign books and write notes to people in print. So, I fancied up the print style and made it something like a go-between cursive and print. (Is that lame or what?)
But then, last year, I met C.J. Mahaney at Southern and he signed two of his books for me. His message to me in both books was written in print! Ha ha! If it’s good enough for C.J., it must be good enough for me.
What about you? Do you write in cursive anymore? Do you write in print? Do you do a fancy go-between?
