Cursive writing is not being taught in much of America.

190. My cursive writing was never very good....

Sometime after I graduated high school, I seemed to degenerate into a mixture of cursive and printing---
and when I wanted to make sure I would be understood, I printed those parts of the message
that was back in the 1980s.... in letters and such, before I owned a computer

Now, the only thing I write in cursive is my 'signature'


But face it, nowadays everyone is composing on computers, and the message is sent to a computer and a printer which prints it out into a very readable document... and children learn that skill in their early years

Other than being able to read 'ancient documents' as you note,
I don't see much purpose in teaching 'cursive writing',
even though I was raised on it....

The world has changed a lot since then...
and as in my case, printing is much more legible than cursive
(which includes the word "curse" HAHHHHAHAHA)


I have only learned of this educational trend in the past year,
but after consideration it seems to be very logical to me




SPELLING, on the other hand, pisses me off, even on this site...

to two too
there their they're
lose loose
