I thought cursive was faster than print too (and wrote this thread based on this premise) but now that I've read the source @npub19t5…qnld provided, it seems that's not generally the case:

Why does it have to be cursive? Print writing does the job, and is easier to read when it comes time for revision. Or, if it's for taking notes while someone is speaking, why not short-hand? With everything being recorded why write live at all—use the lecture to absorb the broad-picture and the recording as part of study to get the details down, which obviates the advantages of cursive.

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.

Step 1: Take forever to sort through, crop, and label all your photos.
Step 2: Swear you'll never leave months of photos on your camera again.
Step 3: ... ?
Step 4: Find you have six months of photos on your camera that you now have to sort through, crop, and label. 😭
(Step 5: avoid colour-correcting forever)
