it's not sad. cursive is horrible writing style. most people cannot even read their own writing. yes, it can be done properly but it takes a very long time to practice and writing this, clear and readable, way is slow. hence why most people switched to small case printed letter writing, or the hand-written style of it. even a bad writer can get his works read. a bad cursive writer can not. and the compromise between speed and readability is better. some go with full on printing style letters but even though they offer best readability, speed of writing is the worst.
