Re: People who think that they can write in cursive are usually wrong

I found cursive to be more relaxing for the hand, not having to lift the pen (however minimally) off the page so much. If we were writing more letters than e-mails nowadays, I'd probably default to cursive most of the time for that reason, but I'd make sure it's legible.

But on the occasion that I do write out an addressee on an envelope for snail-mail or need to make an official written entry to a manual register of some kind, I print - just to be absolutely sure there's no ambiguity. And now for basically all post-it notes or short memos in the office I'm pretty much always printing, but not because it's easier for me - rather I just don't want to deal with even the smallest possibility of a misread word.

OTOH for all hand-written cards (holiday, thank-you, get-well, etc.) I always write in cursive and find it easier.
