I write in print all of the time. However, more formal notes like thank you notes or notes of condolence are in cursive. I write so few of these that it's tough to keep up the habit. My cursive writing looks even more awful than it once did.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Your whole area of expertise is an anachronism, so you're no expert, but being able to cook is frequently useful--for example, when you're not so flush as to be able to eat out every night. As for cursive...I sign my name in it. THAT'S IT. I have never needed it once in my life otherwise. I write my thank-you notes in print, neatly, simply because that's how I write. Nobody ever called me a boor.Originally posted by Oncle Boris View PostComment
