> Depends on countries I guess. In France, the vast majority of the handwritten letters I have received or seen were written in cursive. Up to this day kids at school in France are still taught cursive. Source: my daughter was for five years straight in a British College and didn't learn cursive, but she just moved to a french school and now has to write cursive (and AFAICT the school, although private, is following the official french cursus). No biggie though: she adapted in a few days. As to me I don't write in cursive anymore (although I did learn to write using cursive) but I've got zero problem reading cursive.
