biggest waste of time ever

8/12/2011 12:21:19 PM

i went to catholic school growing up and we had a "penmanship class" where we would dedicate time to learning the proper way to write cursive.

now.....i can't even try if i wanted to.

8/12/2011 12:21:23 PM

i agree.

but im actually happy i learned it because i write in it a lot
(well like a print/cursive hybrid-its quicker)

8/12/2011 12:21:29 PM

I get very cursive when i stub my toe

8/12/2011 12:22:20 PM

I use print for capital letters, and cursive for the rest.

I do the same

8/12/2011 12:23:29 PM

what about signing your name?




[Edited on August 12, 2011 at 12:24 PM. Reason : this is under the broad assumption that most people sign in cursive ]

8/12/2011 12:23:41 PM

Honestly, I get my publicist to do autographs.

cursive upper-case T's look ridiculous

8/12/2011 12:32:01 PM

I'm sad by the number of high school grads that can't even sign their name in cursive. What are they teaching kids these days!

8/12/2011 12:40:03 PM

^ hopefully how to be useful.

8/12/2011 12:44:34 PM

I've used a digital signature easily 100x more this year than I have actually signed a paper.

8/12/2011 12:46:57 PM

bbehehehehehehehehe

depends on how I feel

This is why I do the print first letter/cursive rest of the name thing.

8/12/2011 12:55:21 PM

I, too, champion the print/cursive hybrid

8/12/2011 2:09:43 PM

for fags

8/12/2011 2:11:22 PM

G's, F's, and Q's look stupid in upper-case cursive too

8/12/2011 3:21:47 PM

they told us in elementary/middle school that print would not be accepted in high school. boy were they wrong

8/12/2011 3:22:58 PM

My 16 year old brother can't read my very legible cursive writing because he never learned how to write in cursive.

8/12/2011 3:23:50 PM

all that stress on cursive, and no dvorak? That would have been more useful

8/12/2011 10:22:50 PM

anyone else go to take standardized tests and have to sign a release and copy it in cursive before the test? PURE HELL.

8/12/2011 10:23:53 PM

^ I never understood that section of the test. I think it was just to piss you off before your test taking even began.

8/12/2011 10:37:22 PM

I SIGN WITH BLOOD

8/12/2011 10:40:00 PM

8/12/2011 10:43:49 PM

I thought I made a thread about this and everyone trolled the shit out of me about how useless and outdated cursive was.


Fuck you, Tww. Fuck you.

Maybe it was still useful at the time.

8/12/2011 11:41:35 PM

^^ perhaps your argument wasn't as persuasive as my own

8/12/2011 11:41:58 PM

I can't even remember how to write my middle name in cursive anymore.

8/12/2011 11:43:58 PM

Yeah, I mean I just nod and smile when qntmfred says shit. Because I don't want to be banned.

But gunzz? fuck that guy

8/12/2011 11:43:59 PM

Also

How has nobody brought up RIZZUTO itt.

8/12/2011 11:44:53 PM

you mean RIRRUTO?

8/13/2011 10:06:22 AM

THAT'S NOT FAIR!!

8/13/2011 10:23:44 AM

the problem with cursive is, is that while there is a standard format, almost no one who has learned it actually uses it. cursive is a very person-specific written language, as most people customize it to their liking; often by hybrid methods. this leads to difficulty in understanding other's writings. on the other hand, when people use normal type, aside from bad handwriting, they generally follow the standard forms, with much less customization, as compared to cursive/hybrid. that is why those in technical fields never use cursive. it is always normal type and often in small caps or all caps. it is neat, legible, and greatly reduces the chances of misreading.

8/13/2011 1:58:37 PM

i abide by the hybrid usage

but i never use cursive capital letters

8/13/2011 2:02:35 PM

no way in hell gunzz could successfully write his username in cursive

those z's would fuck him up

^do you use print capital letters in your signature??

was a band that I listened way too much of in high school

8/13/2011 6:27:17 PM

I, too, champion the print/cursive hybrid

8/13/2011 6:31:31 PM

signature /= scripting

my signature is mainly a bunch of capital print letters, except the J looks like a 4
along with squiggly lines

8/13/2011 6:32:09 PM

I write my curses in cursive

Yes, and other people can easily do this "for" you, and you'll never be able to prove it wasn't you. At least with a real signature the judge can compare your actual signature to whatever BS the forger wrote.

(Yes, I am speaking from experience)

I now avoid digital "signatures" on things that involve money or are otherwise important. Some lessons just must be learned the hard way.

8/13/2011 7:59:52 PM

IN HIGH SCHOOL THATS ALL THEY USE

IT GOES DOWN ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD AND WILL BE USEFUL IN THE REAL WORLD
