“Please print” would never mean (in AE) that you necessarily have to write every letter in capitals. I, myself, would write in all caps just because it better achieves the purpose; making sure the reader can clearly read the text. The very nature of “please print” is to ensure that block letters are used; lower, upper or a combination of the two.It would never be necessary to use all capital letters exclusively.
Pete and Loob, I”m often surprised to hear of AE/BE differences, but this one (assuming that”s what it is) absolutely astounds me. What do your forms say, then, if you want to tell somebody to use “the opposite of cursive?” Please ________? “Use block letters?”
Hi pobI think we”re heading off-topic.But I would have to think really hard about an instruction to “use block letters”. After much pondering, I would think it meant “use capital letters”.

Hmmmm….. not in my AE experience. Just “block letters” as POB14 says. Note from that referenced Wikipedia text: It is often misconstrued that one must write in capital letters when writing in block letters…..In at least one court case involving patents, trademarks and registration of designs, the term “block letters” was found to include both upper and lower case. (Fossil Inc v The Fossil Group)
So what is the opposite of “writing in cursive” in BrE? Do you really write everything in all capital letters if not in cursive?

Where it says “Please print”, I always use capital letters.Is that what the instruction means?I”m not really sure, now, but I”ll keep on using capitals
At least two Brits believe that the opposite of cursive is “print” as well…! http://thienmaonline.vn/showthread.php?t=1182403

While working as an IT teacher, I was constantly having to tell students not to write down web and e-mail addresses in either cursive or block capitals, since cursive is frequently misinterpreted on later re-reading and upper case can produce invalid addresses. After groping for a long time for an accurate term to describe “writing in non-joined-up lower case”, I eventually settled on: “write it down in baby writing”.p.s. I would understand “print your name” to mean block capitals.

I understand that many would use all caps because this forces the separation of letters, but I don”t think print in itself requires it.Similarly, when I fill in a form with a box for each letter of your name, I”d generally use all caps, but again I don”t think this is a requirement.
