inability to write in cursive is trashy.

Combine that with the failing of 12years worth of English class spelling and you come out with a typical person capable of being a trash man riding on the truck.

I write in a blend of like 75/25 cursive/print. Basically, I prefer the element of cursive that allows me to not pick up my pen after each letter (along with it being more visually appealing) but some of the more elaborate cursive letters are no longer commonly understood so I'll replace them with a bastardized version of print that looks like cursive.

I don't have to write as much anymore, but when I do I prefer calligraphy.

Negative, 100% print. Otherwise it’d be illegible.

Writing in cursive is something I’ve done without thinking about it since I was in like 4th grade when we were taught and required to do it.

I wonder how people who can’t write in cursive sign their name?

My career started on a drafting board. I can print close enough to look like it came from a typewriter.

Notes for my wife are done in cursive .....

Of course, how do think we will win the war against gen-z? They can't read our battles plans.

Sometimes. Depends on how I feel in the moment. That said my printing has always been much cleaner so I'd typically print letters, reports, etc.

What's always amazed me is how specatular writers of cursive were 100 years ago. Incrediby legible.

As someone that can write cursive, and when done neatly I think it's nice to see. I have no clue why it's even a thing. Take phones and youth out of the situation. Newspapers that people have looked at since the cowboy days, magazines, legal documents, medical documents, etc. is all in print. Kids see print all day every day, what is the point of cursive in todays society? I don't see a person saying "Damn, I wished we still did that" once they get older.

I do think learning to sign your name should be a thing as my 16 year old had no clue what that was when getting his permit and license lol.

I’ve heard this argument many times, but your signature doesn’t have to be in cursive.

“ Signatures are traditionally written in cursive, but they don't legally have to be. You can have a more simply written signature or print your name in capital letters. Or you could use some combination, using capital letters for your initials and then cursive for your full last name, for example.”
