I fully agree with Kos

that cursive useless and has no place in schools except for maybe an elective.

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

I was always pissed in school trying to learn this shit that was designed for right-handed folk and had no use in the modern world. I typed all my work as early as I could use a computer competently (3rd or 4th grade?), and was way ahead of all the suckers scribbling their pretty essays at 10wpm.

I think you are probably right. Handwriting just isn't as important as it used to be. The only time I write something down is when I am making a grocery list. The need to have neat and legible hand writing is almost extinct. Everything is electronic these days.

I haven't used sursive since the last time a teacher made me.

I'm right-handed and I still hate it.

I hate cursive and I hate all of you! I'm never coming back never!

Easy there folks --

Anyway, good script handwriting is a prize, and if competing it could get you a job over someone else equally as qualified in the particular field. But if they had horrible penmanship and you're practically a master then I am sure it's a good skill to develop (as a side-line)

So what about putting your signature on important documents?

BTW I have a bit of a personal joke. Whenev er somebody says "please sign here" I respond with "but I don't know sign language".

i still focus on keeping my handwriting nice. its not the best, but i make it a point to not let it turn to shit.

i dont know how to write in cursive anymore though

I use some kind of mixture between cursive and regular print. I mean, some letters it's nice to be able to know because it speeds up the writing process

But it's a hassle to have to write in it fully. I don't know that I'm sad that it's antiquated or not, but I would think it would still be somewhat important to be able to read it
