I admit to being out of it...what the heck is “cursive”???

When I was in elementary school, we called it "real writing". And it was long after that before I heard the term "cursive".

When I was in 2nd grade the teacher said we were going to learn handwriting. Someone asked if that meant we could forget about printing. She replied “No, printing is still used is books, and newspapers. But adults “write” letters.

I first heard the term 'cursive' in the 70's when my kids were in elementary school.
