>>Cursive isnt some magical aide when it comes to writing. Just something some folks feel some nostalgic connection to because they did it as kids. Frequently it is harder to read.<<
In 5th grade my teacher told me: never use handwriting (what we called “cursive”) again. And I never did.
I am one of those people whose dexterity just doesn’t work with things like that. Even my printing is hard to understand, try as hard as I can and write as slowly as possible.
I am surprised my typing is readable (and without spell-check it can be).
When I was in grade school, teachers forced me to write LEFT handed because my handwriting was so bad they thought I had been previously forced to write with my right hand.
After a week, they gave up, my left hand was even more illegible, they instead insisted I hand print all assignments and forget about cursive.
