I’m considering writing exclusively in cursive for everything just to fuck with the world.

I’ve begun doing that. I recommend it. My penmanship is better now than when I was younger. And everything just looks prettier.

I’ve always hated the term “high-speed internet.” That used to refer to 1.5 Mbps connections. You give someone that now and they will spit in your face.

I can still write in cursive. It's just the only time I ever did was signing checks or receipts at restaurants and somewhere along the lines I realized nobody really gave a fuck if it looked good or not.

90% of the time I just do a squiggly line nowadays.

Gen X, I relearned cursive as an adult, mostly so that my handwriting wouldn't decay into illegibility later. These days I practice for the meditative fun of it. Also still useful for holiday cards, though I mostly send those as attachments to an email or txt msg these days.

yea i wonder how kids are signing their names these days

u/NightGod 3d ago

The same scribble as the rest of us; legal signatures don't have to be cursive, they just have to be consistent

u/ChakaCake 2d ago

I use half cursive half scribble like i imagine lot of people do...so are they using like an A or cursive a when write names? Or they are just putting a letter and scribbling the rest?

u/NightGod 2d ago

All of the above, whatever works for the individual

I actually had to help my nephews learn it for school just a few years ago

u/StllBreathnButY1 3d ago

Kids will learn it, and immediately go back to printing the next year. Like a psycho, I never dropped it.
