Even though the problem is probably much worse in ideographic scripts, we alphabet users haven’t been immune. (We had a head start, after all.) About the only thing I can write reliably any more is my signature; every once in a blue moon when I need to write a check, it literally takes me over five minutes to write it out legibly.
- _delirium 16y agoYeah, I'm really really bad at writing by hand now. It physically makes my hand hurt if I have to write more than a few sentences, because I've gotten totally unused to it (the callouses I used to have on my ring finger, where the pen/pencil sit, have long since gone away as well). But I suppose it's a bit less of a problem because I do at least know how to write all 26 letters when I need to. I did recently though want to write something in cursive (jokily flowery greeting in a card) and I couldn't remember how to write a bunch of stuff, especially capital letters. Had to go online to remind myself how you write a cursive capital Q.
