Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned. (startrek.website)

Also, the idea of using a method of writing meant to make writing faster in a printed menu is ridiculous. Pure wankery.

I'm from the UK, I don't think I've ever heard people talk about cursive writing at all. When I was in primary we learnt joined up writing which I don't thinks the same. I have never seen a menu in NI that wasn't typed and printed and the UK doesn't even have a written constitution either.

Pretty sure Americans just call that cursive. Where I'm from cursive is just this, so it used to confuse me too.
