    It lent to faster writing at the time before texting was the thing. Writing out each letter without running into another takes more effort. But yeah, doctors using cursive for prescriptions is a garbage fire.

      I know what cursive was for, I was there. Writing something hypothetically faster has no value when the thing written is too illegible to read, which cursive virtually always is. The fact that block writing probably is a little slower to write is exactly what makes it more consistently readable.

        Ok calm down. I didn’t invent the thing. Just relaying what I know.
