I wrote something similar to this months ago. There are still many reasons to use cursive writing. If I was interviewing someone and they could not write cursive, I'd rule them out for consideration from a job opening and if I was forced to hire them, I'd take their toys away. We use cursive every day. I use it for list making and to fill out welcome cards, to fill out applications and parts of the lease.There is no excuse for printing or typing everything. It has nothing to do with being a luddite. I just expect someone to write cursive. ps... Love your handwriting!
The only time I tend to print things out is usually on applications where I have to make sure that things are spelled correctly. My handwriting is usually very legible, but at a party a few weeks back someone had trouble reading a certain word I wrote for a board game we were playing.
I am with you on the cursive. With the meeting-centric world we tend to live in, I think cursive writing is just as important as keyboarding skills. And it's quieter.
