In my experience it is much more comfortable to write cursive. You do not have to lift the pen for every single letter. It is quite annoying to have to do that, quite honestly. My hand feels much more happier to be able to just follow a flow.
I also do not understand the hate, it is much more comfortable. It is like hating touch typing. Sure, you can type with two fingers but not very efficiently.
To each their own I guess.
- troutwine 4y agoOh yeah, for sure. The hand is certainly part of 'the tool' and variation there will make different approaches to forming characters comfortable for different people. My own hand is a small block with occasional tails between letters which I find comfortable to write in but is very idiosyncratic. I was taught to primarily write in cursive as a child and then re-taught to write in architectural block as a young adult, which I'm sure has something to do with it.
- kalleboo 4y ago> I also do not understand the hate, it is much more comfortable The hate stems from when we were taught it (poorly) in elementary school, where it was slower, physically painful and the result was illegible. Now I go weeks between writing anything physically at all (and even most of that is Kanji now as I moved to Japan) so learning a new way of writing seems pointless
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoThose claims are not true at all as a southpaw. I was pushing the pencil instead of smoothly pulling it. As soon as my teachers stopped requiring cursive and only cared that we wrote with whatever handwriting was most legible, I dropped it.
