[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.

My handwriting flows between a nearly-cursive script of my own evolution (merging print and cursive) to a nearly-block script of the same, often within a sentence, and usually within a paragraph. But if I'm writing for someone else to be able to read it, I write in small caps. It's clear and hard to mistake one letter for another.

And I agree with the statement above about writing implements: fine enough to be clear but not so fine it's hard and scratchy. I find that combination most with gel pens and good pencils.

I do have a nostalgic fondness for the oversized little kid pencils, though, and will scoop them up at any opportunity. ;^)
