And when an EMP finally hits, and all those fancy keyboards and computers that we have become paperweights, not learning cursive gives people on less way to communicate thoughts on paper. Sure, they can print, but I think the flowing style of cursive should allow people to communicate more quickly on paper.
Hell, I’d even re-introduce shorthand for secretaries. It would be convenient if their computers are down.
Studies show that cursive is, on average, not faster than printing when writing - and it’s actually slower to decipher and read than printing.
This is why important instructions on equipment are written in a block font and not a script. Also why most forms say “PLEASE PRINT” and the post office asks you to print instead of using cursive writing.
Cursive is sloooooow.
