I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

    Not being able to write cursive I understand.

    Not being able to read cursive is an issue that will out your lesser education and put you at a disadvantage in social situations.

      How many social situations do you get into where cursive is relevant? Wedding table cards? Pretty sure even people not taught cursive can get the gist since most letters are pretty close to print.

          I don’t remember when I saw a menu that wasn’t print

          I’d just leave if the menu was in cursive.

      Find better friends, in that case.

        Unfortunately not everyone you socialize with is worthy of being a friend. Cursive illiteracy means nothing to me in that regard. But if the pronunciation of .gif and what color text bubbles your phone sends can matter to people. Well.

          We just don’t need that sort of negativity in our lives.
