    About this article, I learned cursive according to Toivo Heiskanen's 1980s design. I don't think it was a waste of time, even if I handwrite in print more often. There's been no talk of giving it up here. http://ur1.ca/bcokz

      @jla When I jot down notes, I use printing, but if I have to handwrite an essay or if I want to send a nice, personal letter, I use cursive.

        @scribus Yeah, that's about right. And signatures in cursive.

          @jla Yes, that too! Actually, it's more like, "My signature used to be cursive, now it's some swoops and slashes on the paper." >.>

      @jla IMO the real problem is that in the USA, we learn manuscript and cursive hands that don't have anything to do with each other.

      @jla If we just learned a chancery italic hand to begin with, there'd be no conflict between the cursive and the manuscript.
