Back when I used to write things on paper (a very rare thing now, except for the occasional signature) I always wrote in cursive unless there was some explicit requirement not to, and I felt that I was writing like a primary-schooler when required to print. That's how all school assignments were done in middle school through college, and that's the way everyone else wrote and was taken for granted to expect to write, too-- the only people who wrote everything in print were those who were just barely literate. This was in South Carolina in the 1980s and going forward. I was actually very surprised around a year ago when I saw my first story about cursive going out of style in schools-- in my mind, it was one of the basics of literacy.
