Joined or Un-joined handwriting?

[MKR&*42]

Hai x

I'm debating whether to continue using my writing style of joined up writing, or whether to start doing it un-joined more often.

Basically, they're both not perfect at all - they're easily readable but not that neat D:

I need to know this;

1) Do you prefer Joined-up or Un-joined handwriting
2) Are "teachers" more likely to favour Joined-up handwriting over Un-joined or vice versa.
3) Does Un-joined look "un-educated" in your eyes? (It doesn't that much to me unless the spaces inbetween letters are huge D

Any reply will do x

1) Do you prefer Joined-up or Un-joined handwriting
I prefer to write in unjoined hand writing because its easier when taking notes.

2) Are "teachers" more likely to favour Joined-up handwriting over Un-joined or vice versa.
Not really, I dont think it ever mattered to any of my teachers.

3) Does Un-joined look "un-educated" in your eyes? (It doesn't that much to me unless the spaces inbetween letters are huge D
Not in my opinion.

aw joined up handwriting reminds me the days of primary school and that when your handwriting was neat(ish) and cursive, we were allowed to use a pen to write with. took me forever to start using a pen

1. prefer unjoined handwriting
2. teachers don't give a ****. aslong as they can read it, that's literally all that matters
3. once again it doesn't matter. aslong as it's legible (and if it's rly neat then pow, a bonus!) then that's the main thing. you'll find quite a lot of people don't use cursive handwriting anymore - and that doesn't mean that they're uneducated. it's not a style for everyone...

i do joined because it's quicker and i'm lazy but it looks prettier
2) Are "teachers" more likely to favour Joined-up handwriting over Un-joined or vice versa.

3) Does Un-joined look "un-educated" in your eyes?

I would answer yr questions in order but this mobile skin is **** so:

I write joined up naturally (as in if I was writing a note or whatever id use that) but if I'm doing anything official I don't join my letters because I think when it's unjoined it's usually clearer and easier to read.

I love my cursive though, practised so hard at primary school cause my handwriting was a mess til like year 5 and then it got so much better aw.

I don't care.

They don't care.

No, it's what you write that matters.

I think the days are gone where people worry over their handwriting. We were constantly told in Primary School that we should always write in a certain way, making it neat, making finger-spaces, etc. The bottom line is that you're told those things when you're being taught how to write in the first place. Once you can read and write, it's perfectly fine. I remember I wasn't allowed to use a pen in Primary School because my handwriting was untidy, and then I was given an excercise book in Year 6 where I had to practice writing out letters, again and again.

I'm now in Year 13 and my teachers tell me that they struggle to read my writing at times. It starts off perfectly fine, but then as it gets towards the end of an essay and there's a time limit, I tend to cram as much information in as possible and it's the presentation that goes downhill.

I took a photograph of some of my English Language work last year when we were discussing how language is used through electronic modes.

I sorta join up some letters and not others. Its just how I write I guess! I like how my writing looks and all my teachers say that its some of the neatest writing they see, so meh

As long as they can read it, thats all that matters IMO

1) Do you prefer Joined-up or Un-joined handwriting
Don't really care

2) Are "teachers" more likely to favour Joined-up handwriting over Un-joined or vice versa.
It varies for each individual doesn't it?

3) Does Un-joined look "un-educated" in your eyes?

No, as long as one can read it it doesn't really make a difference.

1) Un-joined.
2) Don't know.
3) No.

My handwriting is all joined but I hate it. I wish I could kick the habit and start doing un-joined, it looks sooo much better.

1) Preferred it joined up
2) When in primary school they really wanted us to get into joining our words up
3) Not really no
