I didn't read it all, but it looks like cursive is going away.

It was shockingly difficult to write legibly, considering I was forced to use cursive until my freshman high school year. Cursive is definitely a fading art, but I guess it's not an earth-shattering loss. -------------------- - P - U - C - I - F - U - R - got one

apart from signatures cursive is p. pointless imo

really they should just teach 'decent signature' classes (which in most cases is 'scribble that looks vaguely like it could be a name')

And despite years of being drilled in elementary school, it's one of those use it or lose it things. I struggled real hard on my SAT and GRE to write that acceptance paragraph. --------------------

Half of my letters are cursive letters, I think... and I don't really space letters out very well so some letters get connected.

So maybe it's something like that!
