re: How bad is your handwriting

Mine has always been borderline unreadable. Hasn’t really hurt me in life, because from high school on, basically everything has been computer work.
Now, I find myself retired and having to write a little more. I think my handwriting is actually improving a little, because I focus on it more and frankly, have a lot more time!

I force myself to write in cursive to keep mine decent.

mine is so bad most people think I am a Medical Doctor when they see it...

Mine is average and legible. If I am in a rush, or write something in cursive, it gets a little clunky.
My wife is an assistant principal and she said they started teaching cursive again in 2017 (Louisiana passed a law).

That was grueling work to learn cursive, but I think it helps teach proper grammar and sentence structure when you practice it.

I'm left-handed, so terrible.

I find it a lot faster to write in cursive than to print each letter and diacritical mark.

I looked it up just to see:
Cursive writing shall be taught in all public schools. Each public school shall ensure that such instruction is introduced by the third grade and incorporated into the curriculum in grades four through twelve.
Acts 2016, No. 482, §1, eff. July 1, 2017

I'm 67 and through the years of working in offices, my cursive morphed into half cursive, half printing. Its easier to read than anyone's cursive handwriting. No one ever says they can't read it.
My 91 year old mom still writes everything in cursive. I have trouble reading it. Everyone does. I took a letter and mailed it certified for her. The lady at the post office couldn't read the name of the street my mom had written. She and I had to guess.
Other than signing my name, I never write just cursive anymore.
