My cursive looks like a 10yr old wrote it, which is about the last time I actually wrote in cursive

Lowercase m, n, u, v, and w are confusing as shit when placed next to or near each other.

I do not agree that uppercase G is easier to decipher than uppercase S

nothing in this life feels better than writing a cursive f. i put my whole arm into it. those things are the highlights of anything i write

You may be cool, but you'll never be "Capital L" cool...

Let's be honest. You didn't like learning cursive, you didn't like having to write full-ass papers in cursive because the computer lab was always full as a teenager, and you don't like writing cursive now because it means you probably have to borrow a pen from somebody at work who never washes their hands. Sincerely, a 45 year old.

I ended up kind of creating my own cursive "font" because I thought several of the choices for letter shapes were, in graphological parlance, "Just completely fucking retarded." Like the lowercase S being a slightly pointy loop. I devised my own capital T as well, and jettisoned that Q that looks like a 2.

I wrote in completely illegible cursive until about halfway through college when I started using a laptop for all assignments. On a decent keyboard I can peak at 104 wpm. On the very rare occasion I do have to pick up a pen and write with it anymore, I'm usually jotting down measurements or something, or slopping out some squiggles that will just have to suffice as my signature.

I don't see teaching cursive to children as a particularly valuable usage of time, at this point it might be worth teaching them to read it, but proficiency in writing it is not valuable.

I recently found an old letter from my grandpa to my grandma during the war in Old German handwriting. A lot of spikes. Decided to learn to read it. Nice journey, I recommend. (Not necessarily old GERMAN handwriting, but, you now, old handwriting in your mother tongue).

Omitted is the capital Q that looks like a 2.

It's gets so much worse when you use russian cursive.

In the right bottom corner that's clearly greek Xi

Serious question for people younger than me: How did you come up with a signature if you didn't learn cursive?

I wonder how much the placement of the uppercase L stems from Randall Munroe's own memories of Far Side comics with the "Larson" signature.

Looking at this, while there is some overlap, it's very apparent that US cursive is not the same as Swedish cursive. E.g. lower case x starting from the top? O_O

Lowercase b should be lower on y axis
