Let's be honest. You didn't like learning cursive, you didn't like having to write full-ass papers in cursive because the computer lab was always full as a teenager, and you don't like writing cursive now because it means you probably have to borrow a pen from somebody at work who never washes their hands. Sincerely, a 45 year old.

You guys were forced to actually use it? Outside of when I was taught it, no one demanded it. In fact, most teachers I had discouraged it, or hand written at all. They wanted everything typed in 12 point Times New Roman. Double spaced. Indented. With footers and headers.

I found cursive to be the most useful thing ever for exams because of its speed compared to writing block letters.
