Yes of course, how else would I write? Stopping after each letter and writing them like printed font? I saw some people doing this (especially in East-Asian where people aren't taught proper handwriting for English) and this is madness. No wonder handwriting is so slow and painful to these people.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoI started using a fountain pen early in college, and have never gone back. It takes such a light touch that handwriting is easy and quick. If you have shitty pens, cursive makes a lot of sense to minimize the chance of an RSI. With high-quality gel pens or a fountain pen, either script or print is painless.

- tokinonagare 4y agoWell, kinda like this but more cursive as it has more joins. It's indeed the style I learned at school.
- cratermoon 4y agoThe kind of cursive that I was taught as a kid and that has fallen out of favor is either the Zaner-Bloser Method, the Palmer Method, or its derivative the D'Nealian. All of these have very similar looping cursive letters, the only differences are the style of the block letters and the method of transitioning from them to cursive. A bit of trivia: the joined letters of cursive were developed in response to the limitations of the feather quill. It was important to keep the nib in contact with the paper at all times to avoid splattering and other faults. Today the only reason to keep joins is efficiency, but the other flourishes of old-fashioned cursive are less important.
