    Can we teach the kids that didn’t learn? It’s not a super hard thing since most letters look like the print version.

      What’s the advantage though? What benefits does this have besides being able to read book covers written by people out of touch with their audience?

        You can read other people’s signatures, the constitution and notes from your older lawyer.

          Signatures, not so much.

          Lots of completely illegible signatures out there lol

          Why would you want to

          the constitution

          Plenty of verified print versions floating out there

          notes from your older lawyer

          If I’m paying someone 100$/minute, they’d better be able to write in print upon request

            Fair point, but if you’re worrying about speed more than anything else, you’re probably writing quite a bit and you’re more than likely taking notes of some sort.

            The motor skills involved in writing things down by hand seems to aid memory more than typing it out does. Taka taka’s fun, faster, and not nearly as wasteful, but I’m choosing to stick with my 9,000 pens for retention

          To start, I’m pro teaching/learning cursive. To respond, my brain barely works fast enough to have letters for print, speeding up the writing isn’t the bottleneck.

        The advantage of learning it is being able to read when other people write with it.

        I’m not saying it’s common, but it’s not hard to learn to read and I’m sure you will come across it at some point.

          being able to read when other people write with it.

          They can write legibly if they want me to read what they write.

            It’s not that someone is going to write something they want you to read.

            It’s more about someone wrote something and by chance you want to read it. The only problem is that it’s in cursive, you can’t.

        That is how z looks in cursive.

        They’re the same thing.

          I literally linked to an image showing exactly what it should look like.

            That’s just a different font.
            I hope you know what fonts are.

            Edit. Apparently not, lol

              Well I’m pretty sure you don’t, since handwriting doesn’t have “fonts”.
