Everyone gets so worked up about cursive writing. So you were taught to make writing more efficient. You were taught to make your writing beautiful. Real tragedy.
I still write in cursive because it’s easier and looks nicer. And if you can’t read it, I am gonna judge you.
I dread the day when people won’t be able to read cursive because, I guess, they hate to learn? I have chronic pain in my wrist and arm and it’s the least painful way to write by far.
It’s absolutely not more beautiful, and it’s a pain in the ass to both read and write. Some of us have ugly writing in general despite years of practice and on top of that I hate writing with a pen or pencil period.
Know what’s even more efficient than that cursed writing style?
A god damn computer. Anything more than a few sentences should by typed out.
Man… people can barely read my writing when I don’t use cursive. Might as well be scribbles on the page if I use cursive. I learned to write with a half-cast on my writing hand though, so it was a rough go of it in general.
It’s most definitely not more beautiful for me, and I much prefer being able to read what I wrote down than being fast at writing it down. I had to actively unlearn cursive when I started university, because my notes were not usable.
There’s a thing that I sometimes think about. I write in cursive by default and live in Japan.
Me being Latvian, chances are that that I’m the first Latvian person that someone has encountered. The question is: how many people thought that I wrote something in weird Latvian script and not just English in cursive?
Three years?? I only got a week’s worth of homework for an entire school year for cursive. It sucked because I had to finish the whole thing during school break and the teacher never checked it but at least it wasn’t three years’ worth! lol
I went further and taught myself a few forms of calligraphy. I played with the fountain pen and then bought lots of ink and stuff. Great way to zone out.
It was funny when we used to be in the office to sign a farewell card and I would do it fancy.

Also to be able to read historical documents.

I know a few teachers who use cursive when they have students take notes to other teachers. That way the students can’t read them

Idk, I have been writing in cursive for so long that writing anything else feels weird. Cursive just has a neat flow to it
If your hand writing is shit don’t complain that others have good handwriting and are fast at it.

“More efficient” script that only the writer can read
I write in cursive and I have people ask me to read what I wrote.
I’m trilingual, so I figure I might have accidentally written it in Ukrainian cursive, but it’s English, so I look up like:
“You just have really bad handwriting”

I had to go to special cursive classes during recess for three years. Fuck cursive.

Calligraphy is a better, more legible, option.
cursive is less legible
And we’ll judge you if you use cursive.
Judge away, but my chalk signs are ✨fabulous✨ and you can’t read them. Neener-neener.
