I’ve written in cursive since grade school, and as a result I have one more reason to feel superior to non-stop texters.:Another reason is that I can see where I’m driving.
I’m glad they still taught cursive while my brother, sister and I were in school. Their kids didn’t learn it. So I still send birthday cards with checks in the mail to my nieces and nephews; all they seem to send to each other are texts. (Nice, but you can’t buy yourself a gift with them.)
That said, I kind of remember our cursive classes as being ‘show, not tell…’
Anyone learn the Palmer Method in grade school? It was designed to improve penmanship. I can’t imagine why they aren’t teaching cursive any more. They’ll probably drop Shakespeare next.

Did you see the one where the kid was looking over an elder’s shoulder while he was writing, and he told the kid, “It’s cursive, not Elvish.”

I find it frustrating trying to read cursive, some people’s writing is so bad it’s like translating hieroglyphics.

I’m surprised he’s not cursing at the course, rather than snoozing.
