Reply #47: I am left-handed [View All]

I was able to write in cursive but doing so never felt comfortable. My teachers allowed me to tilt my paper as opposed to forcing me to do that hand-cramping, write-from-above thing. When I got free from mandatory cursive I wrote strictly in print, foregoing lower-case letters completely. Eventually, my handwriting developed into a mix of cursive & print, with a smattering of inappropriate upper-case letters.

On the other hand (haha) blogslut Jr. has Hemiparesis thanks to Cerebral Palsy. For her, print-writing is next to impossible. Her handwriting is in cursive because the process is easier for her. Needless to say, I am quite thankful that cursive handwriting was a part of her elementary education.
