    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.

        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.
