    You know what's even faster than cursive? Shorthand. Why not go all the way and just learn how to mentally make words appear on the page!

    They used to drill cursive into our heads pretty much up until high school. Then all of a sudden they stopped caring.

    I was taught cursive in like 3rd grade, then no one forced anything on us. My handwriting has developed into a part cursive part print mishmash

    Typing is close enough to that for me

    I would used to sometimes purposely make my writing unreadable so that I wouldn't have to lend my notes out to anyone.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    They taught us cursive in grade 2 and 3 and told us it was mandatory and we would need to know it. Well they lied. I don't personally know anyone who writes exclusively in cursive. I mean sure we can all do it if we wanted to, but no one really cares enough to do it. Plus it's usually harder to read people's writing if it's in cursive.
