I never said that quality penmanship was not important. As for cursive, I have simply made the observation that nobody uses it once they leave seventh grade. You may want people to use it, but they don't.
An employer watching someone filling out a job application under the duress of the above-described disability would certainly think twice about hiring. Maybe it's covered under the ADA?
I have never seen a form that does not say "please print". Medical forms, school applications, job forms, etc.. they all say please print. I have never seen one that says "please use cursive".
Additionally, I review many job applications. These particular ones do not indicate the preferred method of filling it out, and many are in cursive. An applicant that renders in the hand of a grammar-school student--whether cursive or print-- is under suspicion. It's like having stinky armpits at an interview.
