      I hate that they still teach it in schools. It means that for about 3-4 years per child, you get birthday and Christmas cards and you can’t read them.

      It’s not noticeably faster and it’s certainly not neater. Just let it die.

        It’s definitely not neater for lefties like me who smear our script as we write.

        However, OCR input tech on phones and tablets are better at reading cursive than block print. Curiously, my grandson’s curriculum in the Solano County School District dropped cursive writing and then picked it up again.

    Lowercase m, n, u, v, and w are confusing as shit when placed next to or near each other.
