    when I write in haste, it resembles cursive, but i dont have standard cursive as a proper writing style, it’s honestly a mish-mash between some cursive letters and print letters

    Yes. I can read and write in cursive. Never stopped using it until I graduated, but I still do sometimes write in cursive.

    i can, but i don't....it's look shitty when you write fast(it's supposed to be used when you have time to write slowly), even more when i read other people cursive. Specialy when it's a medic recipe and you can't find what is writen because it's worse than a third grade elementary kid....

    In my own language, yes. Still requires some concentration cause I tend to get lazy with some letters and introduce variation. In English, I'll need to look up some letters, but I was taught cursive. I just don't like it much. I'd rather have legible text. Then again, I've been mostly typing my text for the last 10 years. Good thing most people type cause I can't be bothered to read some of the chicken scratch people produce.

    learned it in private school in elementary and a bit of middle even though it wasn't mandatory in other schools ah.
    Most kids could do it without thinking but i just wrote ugly and connected letters and got by that way ah

    It was mandatory for me in elementary. We were forced to write it or else it would be "unprofessional". I would want to upload a photo but idk how :cookie:

    yes, can read and write~ this cat hand writing is ugly tho~ btw some people on older generation (let say those who pop up on 60s or 70s) kinda have gap on writing system, they can read each other writing but if younger generation such 90s or 2000s try to read those prepare some aspirin~ yes you can read but prepare to missread few times guessing what word~

    Your signature can literally be anything you want. Do a scribble. Or maybe an artistic representation of your genitals (not sure if that's legal or not so let me know how it goes). No one actually cares if it's your name or even mildly legible, as long as it's consistent.

    Yes, but I only use it a few times a year for sending letters and cards. I don't ever use it outside of this.
