Question

I'm new to learning Russian, and was wondering if its considered strange to write in block letter form. My cursive is horrible, and I find it easier to write in block, but dont want to seem wierd.

Then you better talk about yourself only, and not about the majority of population. Block letters are good for ads and books but not for common handwriting.

Sorry for spoking for all people

Most people I know write kind of block letters from USSR ГОСТ (engineers, naturally)
Other people I know are doctors - you can not read their writing anyway you look, so it must be cursive.

In IT-challenged or totally non-IT places where handwriting is the only available form, it's inevitable. But if one's working in an office with "personal" computers and functional e-mail and printers, it's unlikely it's gonna be handwritten, unless the power goes out and the computers stop to work.
