And they're not missing a darn thing. I mostly quit writing cursive over 40 years ago. I can still read by mom's letters, but it was tricky even way back then.

And they're not missing a darn thing. I mostly quit writing cursive over 40 years ago. I can still read by mom's letters, but it was tricky even way back then. I don't think it's that hard to learn to read it, if you're motivated. Sometimes I enjoy trying to read Old German script (think WWII period). And English cursive from 1700's and 1800's is interesting (but then so is the vocabulary and idioms), but I don't see the utility now, unless it's something you enjoy.
