Learning cursive is so easy it's kind of amazing to me that some people, especially Americans, feel there's no ROI. Legibility on the other hand seems very easy for some and very hard for others.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoWhich countries have you lived in? I don't think that convenience stores (aka 7-11s, spar, corner-shops, newsagents) in the UK normally have pens. I take notes in sermons/talks ... on my mobile [cell-phone].
- falcolas 11y agoWorth remembering that cursive, as taught in America, is different than "joined writing" as taught in the UK. The American version is a bit harder to read and write, particularly the lower case 's' upper-case 'q' and both cases of 'z'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive#/media/File:Cursive.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive#/media/File:Cursive.sv... vs. http://www.cursivewriting.org/joined-up-handwriting.html http://www.cursivewriting.org/joined-up-handwriting.html
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoIn the old days, American cursive was defined by a periodic national competition. So letters would mutate over time as tastes changed. I remember upper-case Q got really weird (like a number 2) for a while. As a kid I just ignored it and did it my own way, which turns out folks could read anyway.
- eric_h 11y agomy cursive (in the rare event that i write it these days) is really a hybrid of standard american cursive and print. I avoid the weird capitals in favor of the print versions that I then just join up with the cursive lowercase letters.

- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI remember in grade school when we got the latest winning results, we had to write our capital Qs like a large number two. Because it 'looked prettier'. I refused; I closed the circle so it would look like a real letter Q.
