Yeah, when was the last time you saw business professionals taking notes in cursive?

About never, even when they’re older people who prefer that method. They either use recorders, keyboards or electronic tablets - or if relegated to pen and paper, print or use shorthand.

Cursive is basically dead in real-world use with the exception of the signature - and even that may be replaced with an electronic equivalent soon, or microprinting signets.

I never stopped, although years ago I developed my own form of shorthand, it is still almost entirely in cursive.
