AK_Stick Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Why keep cursive? You can't produce a product in it anymore, so why spend time teaching what you can't use? Fill out a form in cursive, it gets rejected. Try to write a report in cursive, it takes you so long, you fail the assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, that would be my bicycle. But, it doesn't have a giant front wheel. In fact, both wheels are the same size. The fact is, my printing is poor, but legible. My cursive, on the other hand is unreadable. My HTML?

For 7 years I got thwacked by nuns trying to improve my handwriting. To this day I break out in a cold sweat at the sight of a yard stick. Post Thwack Stress Disorder! Curiously, meter sticks don't bother me. Wish the country would convert to metric already! You and me both, brother. Isn't it amazing how the nuns can really whack you with that yardstick and never leave a mark? Those who never went to Catholic school cannot relate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t4terrific Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Recently some school have stopped teaching cursive writing. The subject of this has popped up in several places. Who can't see the liberal conspiracy here to make The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights unreadable ?[emoji46]I’m pretty sure there are non-cursive versions available for the imbeciles who can’t figure out how to read cursive. Can you read Hebrew or Aramaic? How do you know what’s in The Bible? (That’s a bad example. It’s been modified and manipulated a thousand different ways.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, signatures are a whole other world if trying to identify someone. My signature looks nothing like my name in cursive except the first letter of each name. If you know my signature, you'll know I signed in. If not, you won't have a clue who wrote it. I would agree but this is just your two initials not a full name. Even when I have to initial something in a 1/4 in box I tend to take a little time to get both letters in and legible.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I initial something it's a unique symbol somewhat based on the first letter of my last name. it's unique, not necessarily meaningful. My signature is quite legible for legal purposes.
