When handwritten essays were intorduced on the SAT exams...

It's a good thing that she typed this instead of writing it in cursive.

Besides, work in architecture and you'll probably never write in cursive again...or lower case letters for that matter.

Architecture school killed any use I ever had for cursive. But like a weed, those loopy letters have returned in the form of a draftsman/cursive hybrid that no one but I can read.

Exactly, I stopped using cursive after my first drafting class.

After a number of years doing drafting/technical illustration, (back in the stone age before AutoCad) I found myself printing most everything and I could not only do it as fast as I could cursive, but everyone, myself included, could read it afterward. ;~))
