not even on a white board?

Also turns out to be a different skill. (My old school printing is fine, my old school cursive was pretty much gone by day one of college, chalkboards are almost always slow block-printing - so when I started using whiteboards, it was all cursive patterns that were unreadable and mostly served as a vague reminder to the audience of what I said when I was scribbling over there.)

About 5 years ago I was inspired by a friend casually doing some amazing whiteboard art at work, and ended up trying a more calligraphic approach (not fancy gothic patterns, just that kind of intent/attention.) A lot slower, but a bunch of coworkers privately requested that I keep up the new approach...

Mostly don't even use those these days--basically never in an office. Collaborative docs are more common. I mean you need basic at least somewhat legible printing but that's probably fine for a lot of things these days.

Handwriting was always my worst grade in elementary school and don't really know Palmer script any longer.
