This is not just a problem with the education system in the U.S.A. We visited Australia 10 years ago and found a twenty-five year old attendant at the time-share we visited who couldn’t read cursive…good cursive, too.
Back in the “Old West (and further back, I’m sure),” people were told to “make their mark,” because they couldn’t write their names. Are we regressing to that period, again, where people below a certain age have no clue how to write their names in cursive?

Or write it. With arthritis, I can barely write either, especially calligraphy.

Even better with a fountain pen.

He just wants to make sure nobody can read his diary.

Try cursive italic with a stub nib fountain pen to enhance the experience.

I always disliked cursive. I am glad to have lost the ability to write in it.
