+175 The only practical application for cursive is writing your signature, amirite?

Cursive is actually the way you're supposed to write in everyday life, that's what it was invented for. The print writing most of us use now was considered too slow by people who invented cursive because it requires you to lift your pencil after every letter. Print was only used for actual printed work. But now most people actually find cursive slow simply because we haven't practiced much in it. But in many parts of the world cursive is still used as everyday writing.

They made us copy an agreement statement in cursive on the SATs and ACTs. It took some kid in my room a good ten minutes to write a single sentence.

YES. This happened in my room, too. It was so annoying. You could really tell the public school kids and the Catholic school kids apart from this
