I have not used it since

Really? Never asked to sign your name?

But I did read an article that stated that most males revert back to block printing once cursive is no longer required. According to this study, females don't.

My signature would not really be described as cursive, it is a jumbled mass of squiggly lines.

I'm female and my general handwriting sort of veers between cursive and printing, sometimes within the same sentence. Fun. Wow.

Homer Simpson says "Doh!"

That is an excellent point. Although to be fair, after having had to sign my name too many times in the military, my signature looks nothing like it did when I got out of school and isn't legible (as far as being able to tell what the scrawls actually say). It does look like the scrawl on the back of my credit card, however, and store clerks seem to be generally happy with it when they compare the two.

Interesting. According to graphologists, connecting letters in cursive writing equates to the writer's ability / propensity to connect emotionally to other humans. A writer who prints is emotionally detached from others. Guess this is a difference between the sexes.
