I have found two quirks related to international writing styles. The first, as you found, is that people from China tend to have very neat handwriting. The second, (which I don’t know is generalizable) is that my Eastern European coworkers invariably wrote in cursive script.
- sannee 7y agoAt least in Czechia, cursive was taught until very recently. These days kids mostly learn Comenia Script [1]. [1] - http://www.lencova.eu/cs/gal_ukazky_cs http://www.lencova.eu/cs/gal_ukazky_cs
- Hitton 7y agoAlthough Comenia Script was very hyped, it hasn't become very widespread. Last data I'm aware of gave percentage of schools using it at only 4 percents.
- Xelbair 7y agoBecause over here it is taught as a default script.
- zwkrt 7y agoYes, I figured as much! The interesting thing culturally is that in the US everyone is (was?) taught cursive script and is told it is very important to know, but somewhere around the age of 11-12 it is entirely dropped out of the curriculum and never mentioned again.
