I learned Palmerian cursive back when that was what was taught in elementary schools, and used it for everything (exams, essays, note-taking, letter-writing) through college and graduate school. By the end of that time, my cursive had become completely illegible to anyone but myself. I later re-taught myself to write an italic cursive, which frequently gets complimented when people see it.
