My penmanship was always so poor, that I couldn’t read my OWN handwriting. It was supposedly faster to write in cursive than it was to print, but I never found that to be the case.
Anything other than personal correspondence is typed anyway - or official forms are required to be PRINTED on
. Sorry - cursive writing is a waste of valuable school time.
Does your bank accept a PRINTED signature on checks??Drivers License?Voter Registration ? Library card? Social Security card? etc.
Don't think so.
Actually, marks of almost any sort are accepted. Xs have sufficed for illiterates historically and are still in regular use on democrat registration forms.
My signature, in perfectly illegible cursive, was questioned when I was in basic training—a young admin troop told me I couldn’t sign a form if it weren’t legible! I had to inform her that a legible signature would not be my own. I have had many folks accuse me of being a Doctor due to my scrawlings. LOL
Sorry.... but a signature is not truly cursive writing. It is often so highly stylized as to be completely undecipherable.
Trust me... I’m a nurse and I could give you 100 examples of a MD’s signature that there is NO WAY IN HELL you’d ever decipher without the PRINTED info on the top of the form.
