dweller, I'd heard about abandoning cursive writing....
As someone who the nuns attempted to beat proper Palmer Method Cursive into and still failed to conform, I'm of mixed mind. My personal handwriting would best serve a pharmacist...and we'd have a quieter world for it. I gave up long ago and generally print the rare message and note. Like most, my signature is a scrawled tangle of lines with a vague attempt at some sort of 'form following function' (maybe it should look kinda like the letters it mimics...).
Cursive is going to follow calligraphy into the 'arts & crafts'....most will not miss it..
When all that's left is emoji, will we have come full circle to pictography as in Chinese or Japanese?
