Not all documents are in type form, we have family docs that are in old English, that are a hard slog going through, all in very fancy cursive of the time period.
Cursive will always be needed. I can write easier in cursive than print with arthritic hands. Today’s under educated edijits can’t read even my print and don’t know how to read cursive.
Ah to write in cursive-a blessing. I am left handed and am afraid my penmanship teachers gave up on me (mid to late 50’s). But I can read cursive!
