Quick question: When I dabbled in learning Russian some time ago, my materials stressed that handwriting in Russia is primarily cursive. Schools in America have deemphasized/removed cursive writing from their curriculum. Has Russia seen similar trends in education/usage of cursive writing?
- konart 6y agoNo, if you write in russian you write in cursive. Some people adapt their "style" to make it easier for them (for example using "т" instead of its cursive counterpart) but I can't imagine anyone writing (or leaching how to write) like this: "мама мыла раму". This would also have the whole healthcare system destroyed. Can you imaging a doctor putting down letters you can tell from each other?
- anthony_romeo 6y agoThanks!
- xxpor 6y agoOne thing to note is that Russian italics usually take the letter forms of Russian cursive. Some of these look completely different than the block letter (think Latin Q or Z vs their cursive counterparts), so you have to be able to read it for more than just handwriting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cursive#/media/File:Cyrillic_cursive.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cursive#/media/File:Cy...
