As an SAT proctor, I have to have the kids write a passage in cursive as part of the trappings. I usually write a question in cursive on the boards at the front of the room: “Does anyone not know what cursive writing is?” This year the SAT people started cutting the kids some slack on it: The instructions tell them to write it as best they can and that their handwriting won’t count against them (not that it ever did). But one time, after I pointed out the handwritten questions and told the kids what they were supposed to write (a statement that is printed on the back of their test booklets), one kid actually wrote “Does anyone not know what cursive writing is?” I had to make him change it.
