[Marvin D.]

Please vote in the poll, then write a bit about it.

1. Do you prefer to write or type?
2. Do you write cursive or block letters?
3. Are you left handed or right?

[Bob Booth]

I'd rather type...like what I'm doing right now. . . can you imagine the internet if everything was handwritten! wow. When I do write I prefer cursive just since it goes faster, however it sometimes (most of the time) get's pretty sloppy. . . then there's my personal code that I sometimes write in. I am strongly right handed...but kinda sad about that because I've noticed that some of the best artists are left-handed. Oh well.

Type... keeps me focused more. I'm right handed. I like block... cursive has been lost on me since the 7th grade... when I didn't have to be forced to write it for everything.

If I'm writing something that needs to sound good I prefer to write it by hand. (Like all my school assignments. I write them out by hand first, and then type them. Somehow I always seem to end up on the internet even though I only meant to go onto Word, and I get distracted and my writing doesn't sound as good.) If it's not super important, and I'm not getting graded for my writing then I'll just type it all out.

When I write prose I prefer block letters, when I'm writing poetry I use cursive. I also use cursive when I write secret things that I don't want anyone else to read, except then I make it tiny so I can't even read what I'm writing.

I am right handed.

I would rather type. I am right handed. If I must write, I write in printing. I'm trying to get into the habit of writing in cursive, but that hasn't been going so well.

[Shennifer]

I like to type, because I can do it pretty well, but I also like to write by hand, in non cursivey form. I'm also right handed, and I'm an artist.

[Bob Booth]

I'm also right handed, and I'm an artist.

I'm not saying that right-handed people can't be good artists (I'm also an artist), I'm just saying that many left-handed people are REALLY good artists...or maybe...many REALLY GOOD artists are left-handed people. Something like that.

[Marvin D.]

Or maybe...it's in your imagination!

[Bob Booth]

perhaps. But I have proof! (just...not on me at the moment....left it in my other pants)

[Marvin D.]

Yeah, right....like I'll belive that...

[Taq]

1. I prefer typing most of the time, but I like hand writing things as well, e.g. for journaling and writing thank you notes.
2. I usually print, but I do have a nice cursive when I feel like being fancy.
3. Right handed and left brain dominant!

[Marvin D.]

Since I myself hasn't said anything about me's now....
I'm right handed, I write cursive and block, and I prefer to type.

[Laurie]

I prefer typing because five years ago I broke the ring finger on my right hand which makes writing rather painful at times. When I do write I prefer block. I am right handed.

[EMBEE]

I am right handed. When it comes to writing and typing, I don't really have a preferance (sp?). I rarely ever write in block.

[Mr.Whit]

It surprises me that there are no just lefthanders.
Interesting

I'm not saying that right-handed people can't be good artists (I'm also an artist), I'm just saying that many left-handed people are REALLY good artists...or maybe...many REALLY GOOD artists are left-handed people. Something like that.

Some of my classmates and a left-handed dude were talking about that this weekend. Nick told Eder that with left-handers, they are either really really popular (famous, smart... you know), or just lower than average. Of course, that never means that there aren't average left-handers. Take for instance one of my friends. He's left-handed, but definitely average...

And right-handers can totally be artists... good in fact.

It would be many really good artists are left-handed. Not all left-handers are artists... Eder, for instance.

Just my thing for the day...

[Trixie Belden]

I'm left handed and I'm brilliant! Okay, just had to throw that out there. Sorry. And no, I'm not an artist at ALL. I guess I'm smart. I took the SAT when I was 11. I can't draw or paint to save my life, though. Weird. And to answer the question at hand, I like typing better, I prefer print over cursive, and I am left handed.

[Marvin D.]

When I write with my left hand, it comes out like: jdfkjioajkldjfiohajoqhr89f jbkafi u8 mslmfow fyrhi. You get the point. I can draw stick figures and basic drawings, though. And Trixie, you took the SAT last year? How?

[Oba-rai]

I'm left-handed, and I certainly think faster when I type, but there are times when I prefer writing on paper. I don't like writing in cursive, though I'm learning to write in cursive backward. And I'm trying to teach myself to write with my right hand.

[StrongNChrist]

I tend to prefer typing to writing, mainly because I get more written that way and I find that when I write a lot my hand starts to hurt. I don't like writing in cursive so I stick to block. I'm left handed but can write right handed at times - although it isn't as neat as my left hand. But it is readable. Even so, I stick with my left hand most of the time.
