[Poll #1340512]

poll inspired by this article in the globe about the death of cursive writing. NB: back in 2006, 85% of kids taking the SAT wrote in block letters.

I was taught another writing system called Italics. I don't use it; I just print really fast. (Not 'block letters' as I understand the term, unless you're using that to mean "any printing." I use distinct upper and lower cases and there's nothing particularly blocky about the characters.)

yeah, i used "block letters" to mean "any 'ordinary' printing".
