    My uncle would point out that in these formations, one line of the V is always longer than the other, then ask if you knew why. He then answer with a straight face, “Because there are more geese in that line.” (It’s another version of the chicken crossing the road.

    This old-timer was docked by 3 out of 380 eBay customers last year for communication because I enclosed a thank you note written in cursive.

    I hear it’s no longer taught. Use it as a secret code.

    Don’t even get me started about not teaching cursive anymore! Lamebrains!

    If anyone has ‘Nextdoor’, it’s for local neighborhoods to spill their guts and sell stuff. I recently read where one woman was looking for someone to teach her 17 year old to write cursive. I’m still just shaking my head.

    I can write three words in cursive. My first, middle and last names. And you would probably have an easier time to read ancient Sumerian than my cursive.

    Sometimes I worry about the letters and cards I send through the USPS since I always address them in cursive. With fewer people able to read cursive, is the USPS going to ban letters written in cursive?

    I learned cursive to an extent, but never ended up using it. Only recently did I end up developing what resembles cursive by writing things down as fast as possible when necessary.

    I’m not even 40 and they call me an old-timer. Then again, I would be improbably old for a goose.

    Mostly, I use cursive for signatures and notes to myself. It may have saved time overall in my life, but I understand that young people today would likely spend more time learning it than they’d save by using it.

    Having fluently cursived at one point, I can’t say I understand why so many people are upset that it’s disappearing. In a world where the most efficient forms of documentation are becoming typing or even verbal dictation, the extra time spent learning a different manual writing system has been a net negative to time I could spend learning something I use.

    I’ve been working for the state library transcribing historical documents from cursive so researchers can read them. I can write in cursive a lot faster than I can keyboard, and I get the letters in the right order the first time around. If my pen breaks down I go get another one, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. And, thank goodness, engineers don’t make changes in cursive so you have to relearn it.
