    Im good at cursive and have done it since 5, but recently its been slowing me down, so a friend suggested print handwriting. I tried that and over the months i turned it into a print handwriting with some connected words/ loops.

    I've noticed when taking notes in cursive opposed to manuscript, my handwriting has much more accurately encompassed how I felt in the moment.

      Its a huge myth that print is slower. Print is actually faster.

      We keep Chinese calligraphy alive after it was revived post cultural revolution(where China's ccp had the entire nation work together to destroy all of their culture and art etc..and kill every sparrow in the country..causing mass famine for that reason/and because of the top down planning fails.) It got so bad, the fraud/fake medicine that is traditional Chinese medicine, had to be learned from Japan..since china killed/exiled all their doctors and educated peoples..and burned all the books.
      ...Since Chinese writing/artistic calligraphy, has been brought back intentionally, might as well do the same with cursive writing in English.
      Also. It is a lot harder to make fake documents using cursive/handwritten letters...I can see fake texts and photoshop as evidence being a big thing in the future.
      Plus. When we print, and more so when we use cursive, or learn a hybrid style....We slow down a lot and spend time making good writing habits as kids.
      Cursive lessons not only teach the letters, but how to properly hold the pencil, or how to not press too hard... With PC/tech, there is a huge rise in carpal tunnel, and other hand issues, so might as well try and reduce the damage by learning to write correctly !
      So many with ugly illegible, and painful for their hands, handwriting nowadays.
      Also. Idk if you have told this to people...but if kids are encouraged to keep their cursive practice sheets, they will be able to have a visual representation of their improvement over time. . Which shows the value of consistent practice. Since for not just kids, but for adults, it is easy to get discouraged and think they have worked hard and long for no progress. Cursive writing instills the value of consistent practice being beneficial!
      Not all kids are in sports, art, music, or other extracurricular activities...So cursive allows them to learn the value of consistent practice.
      It is easy to think hard work is worthless, until you are able to actually see visually yourself, just how legitimate practice is in terms of improving different skills.
      Finally... photoshop and deep fakes and all are publicly available. I can see in the future, that lawyers and individuals and important businesses contracts and documents may actually make a move towards being handwritten..and copies with a seal being made..likely with a thumbprint or something. It is the safest way to ensure contracts and documents are neither fake, nor edited/messed with.
      It wont happen soon..but very likely to happen.. especially if a couple of cases of having signs of being edited or sabattoged.

    Expert on language acquisition and cognitive processes here. Cursive is only good for three things: it's usually faster due to fluidity, it's good to treat dislexia and similar problems, and it is good in the first stages of language acquisition because children can relate tied sounds to tied letters. Handwritten, on the other hand, it is tied to eye-hand coordination, motricity, calmness and reflection on the process, and creativity.

    Been a cursive writer all my life. Fast was my goal. But to the detriment of legibility. Needed a digital notebook for work. Bought a tablet to take notes. My cursive writing was a joke, even I couldn't read some of it back. OK time to change my handwriting. Very quickly learned to write in print. Slowed it all down, developed my own style, can read. Neat, good to look at and most importantly, legible. That was 5 months ago. Have to really try hard and concentrate on cursive now. Going back? Hell no. I'm amazed at how quick and easy it was to reprogram decades of a practice.

    When I was in school print vs cursive meant whether the letters where connected or disconnected. But the meaning has changed to handwritten vs computer driven.

    Not teaching cursive writing is but another lowering of standards in an ever declining culture. The printing I see looks more like pre school, even if the person has a Masters (BTW, mostly undeserved today). Even pen holding is an astonishing event, with many looking like they have rheumatoid arthritis trying to get the pen to print. It's cringeworthy.
