Do americans write all their letters sepperatley?

In the UK most people write in cursive, but ive heard that most americans dont. if this is the case... why?
[close]
Depends. Most people that I know write like how you see this post. I never use cursive, don't like it even though it makes writing faster.
[close]

it's a generational thing.

i was taught to write in cursive during elementary school, about 21 years ago. i've got cousins in school now and they can't conceive how to write in cursive.

i write in a scribbled mix. i don't know if it's an american thing though. my girl is from bogota colombia and has more fucked non cursive writing than me...

I think handwriting is kinda going out the window across the entire developed world. I was taught cursive when I was a little guy too, and told how important it was. And it must have been before our era, when all important legal documents and correspondence was hand written. But I don't think too many people in the 80s and 90s had any idea how completely computers were gonna take over the world. Typing is by far the more important skill.

I actually find this a problem for me now that I'm back in University. I wrote a final yesterday that was essentially three essay questions. And I don't think I did too hot. I actually find that I can express my thoughts in written form significantly better through the medium of a keyboard than with a pen and paper. I can't hand write nearly as fast as I can type, so I can't keep up with my own thoughts and can't get into the flow of writing. I wonder how long it will be before exams start happening on computers?

After I was in the Army I started to write block letters only, or REAL LIFE CAPS LOCK.
I write just as fast, but even retards can read it, so it's a win-win.

What jobs are most common in movies/television?

To me, it seems like architects are way over represented if the characters profession is unrelated to the story/plot.

Did Def Leppard choose their name because the words have sort of the same length as in Led Zeppelin?
Did they think "Led Zeppelin is such a cool name, I wish we could come up with something like that!"
[close]

Led Zeppelin is the sickest band ever. Def Leppard on the other hand is as much of a rock band as jereme rogers is a poet and a rapper

I am well aware of how much they suck, I just wondered about the thought process of that horrible name as it is visually sort of similar.

You can get diagnosed with Dysgraphia and then they have to give you a computer to take your exams. I thought it was fake but my brother in law has it and takes all his exams separately. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysgraphia

I pretty much dropped handwriting altogether until i went to architecture/design school and now write in all caps somewhat designer lettering because we had to learn. it took a lot of practice but was worth it.

You probably imagined your forthcoming release, so I would say in your case: no; yet in general, there might be some bi-curious potential

It depends. Is the guy cumming fucking another guy? Because if so, yeah probably.

Corollary to that question--in gay porn, is it over when both guys cum or just when one guy does? Is there a special type of gay porn where the guys cum at the same time?

Enter the Wu Tang (36 chambers)
He never was IMO soooooo...yes?!?
yup
well he is back to baker 2g greco at the moment so estimating the rate at which the greco fashion cycle turns i would say give it another 5 years and you will see that handsome tranny bitch again.

Do you shave before, or after you take a shower?

Human Onion · « **Reply #356 on:** January 08, 2012, 01:06:42 PM »

^ always before. BTW, this is one of the best threads on slap -- it's (almost) up there with "awkward sexual experiences". Funny that the best threads on a skateboard message board are not about skateboarding.

ice nine · « **Reply #357 on:** January 08, 2012, 01:16:29 PM »

Why would anyone shave before? Hot water opens your pores. So shaving is easier/smoother.then use cold water to rinse/close your pores to stop zits/make the bleeding stop faster.

oneshovel · « **Reply #358 on:** January 08, 2012, 01:24:05 PM »

My sink dispenses hot water as well.. But I do it before because after my shower the mirror is too steamy. Plus it's easier to just shower off the excess shaving cream.
