    It doesn’t help anyone. It’s an antiquated skill that’s only being brought back to pander to the boomer class.

        I’m for cursive classes being preserved as part of caliphary classes or for historians (at least reading).

      So’s the lightsaber :P But seriously, I consider it almost in the same vein as reading paper books. Inefficient, but for some people there is real joy in it.

      Because of my very cool physical visual learning cognitive style, I write everything down in notebooks. I wish I’d been introduced to cursive earlier - there’s a kind of a jazz to the lettering, where everyone develops their own style over time. Capital letters in particular offer a lot of play in what you can get away with and still be able to say, “ah yes, that’s a ‘G’.”

      It’s like writing but add 15% doodling to it.
