Cursive writing?
do they even teach it in school these days?
we were having a conversation about this and couldn't think of a time other then in school that we have HAD to use it. |

Yes, they still teach it; my wife teaches the kids in third grade. The only time I have used it is for note taking back in college - it is so horribly indecipherable, it was only useful to me.

Cursive writing
I always curse if I have to write longhand.

Cursive writer here. Only had a few teachers throught my years demand it. Never understood why people "hate" it.

Cursive sucks because it's often hard to read others' if they are sloppy, which 99% of people are.

The only thing I do in cursive anymore is my signature and that's even questionable.
I think if I could still do it well I still would, as 101 said I think cursive is quicker to do.
