I had to go through this twice. First, in school, we were taught cursive writing. Mine was so illegible that I always chose to print; now I prefer to type.

Then I went through it later in college, where a quarter of my grade for a Graphic Communication class (and daily homework throughout the semester) was based on learning proper printing for architectural and engineering construction documents (Known as "City Blueprint" font, or something similar, in the modern world). And this was at a time when almost all construction documents were being produced by CAD graphics. Some habits die hard.
