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.

I had written cursive until about the graduation from school. But I never liked it because it almost always looked to me irregular and/or unintelligible, especially combinations of л, м, и, ш that don't stand out of the repetitious cursive-i-like pattern. So, I stopped writing cursive. I've never bothered to learn to write cursive English either, since I didn't ever need to as virtually all English was either in electronic or printed form. I think school is the only place where cursive is (was) required and inescapable (at least in the past, when computers and printers weren't so widely spread).
You can learn to write cursive, but IMHO it won't probably give you much advantage.
