As a surveyor, I have written in block letters for field notes and maps so long, I can’t write cursive anymore. At 65, times have finally caught up with me. I can still read cursive with no problem, but my hand refuses to form the letters. I guess you might say that I can read writing, but I can’t write reading.

It does beg the question, will today’s youngsters be able to read cursive writing if all they know how to write is block lettering?

I use cursive alphabets on the computer for letters and cards>

Learning cursive is not terribly useful nowadays. I can print at least as fast as I can write…and it’s much, much more legible.

By the way, calligraphy is very different from cursive.
