I keep seeing people reflect negatively that #cursive is no longer taught in schools. As someone who uses a #FountainPen and writes exclusively in cursive, I want to say: cursive is a tool. It trades speed for the legibility of print, and is easier to read large blocks of than short-hand.
Unless you need to write a large amount by hand in a short period of time, it is simply not the right tool. I love writing, but in all honesty it's a hobby: anything I *need* to do is typed.
