Very curious to see how many can read or write cursive 👀👀👀👀

I can read most of the time, and when I write cursive I'm mostly just free balling it I never learned to correctly write cursive lulz

I can write cursive but I sometimes have difficulty reading cursive. I was taught in 2nd and 3rd grade.

Life is a mystery. Explore it while you can.

I can both write n read cursive!! :33, the bad thing is that I have a hand mobility issue n the way that I write cursive looks horrible 💔💔, I was taught cursive in kindergarten :D

I can read and write cursive, but I'm old. It was beaten into me when I was young!

Also, but handwriting is atrocious. So I don't write in cursive often. I print instead. 

Also, my handwriting is atrocious when I print.

Also was beaten into me, and even worse, they forced me to use my right hand instead of left. Wasn't even a religious school, just rural.

@Kommando Mutiliid damn. I've got a good decade on you, and I was amongst the first class in my area where they DIDN'T neat us left handers into using our right hands! 

@Cranky Old Witch

I chalk it up to my teachers being severely geriatric at the time.  They were stuck in the old system. I remember they'd smack my hand all the time, and tell me to keep my left hand in my pocket. Never questioned it at the time, haha.  

My dad is also left handed and went to a one-room school house in the 50's and they didn't even force him! Lucky me.

Yes, it's my primary style of writing. I find it funny when coworkers are deciphering my field notes and comment on it looking like letters their grandparents had sent them.  I'm not -that- old.  

I also do commissioned lettering work for music artists.

I can read it with a few difficulties for certain letters (s), and I can write cursive, but I chose not to because it really hurts my hand more than anything and it looks quite awful when I try (maybe lack of practice, and I hold pencils wrong, but it's uncomfortable when held the "correct" way)

Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
That you love me
And I love me :3c

I used to write it because they taught us in primary school, but one day they just stopped teaching everyone. I’ve been thinking about learning again for a while now, maybe I should. 

Why don't you just ask people their age?  🤣
My class wrote long papers in cursive and showed work for engineering problems ... without ChatGPT.  

Whether I can read it depends on whether the person that wrote it had skills. 

I have been able to read and write cursive since I was about 5. They used to teach it in school and when they stopped, it was sort of implied that no one could read cursive and that I should write in print. So, through secondary school, I wrote in print and when I graduated, I decided to go back to my roots and start writing all swirly and joint-up again. My handwriting is a mix of cursive and print and I love it.


i was about to enter 3rd grade just when they took cursive out of the curriculum, and it pissed me off. i taught myself in 2nd grade from a middle-grade novel where the protagonist learns cursive! i also copied it from the posters that were still up in classrooms. i prefer cursive and i now write in mostly cursive with a few printed letters. absolutely fuck an uppercase cursive G. i looove writing cursive z's, s's, and i's. :) it feels especially nice to write cursive with a fountain pen. it's so soothing :3

i usually write in a mix of both. i was taught the basics as a kid and in middle school was made to practice it. i wrote in print outside of practice tho, until i realized how much faster and more comfortable it is in cursive once you learn it well.

this was the draft on a research paper about the Marshall Plan for my History class

Vielleicht komm' ich nicht nach Haus.Betet, dass alles gut wird... Liebe Mutter, Liebe Joseph"

i was taught cursive as a child and had to writte pages full of calligraphy but i stopped writting like that in 4th grade cus i wasn't rlly the best and wasn't necessary anymore so my cursive rn is bullshit but i'm able to read it:doughboy: 

:wave: i can read and write cursive!! :doughboy::doughboy: cursive was something i was forced to when i was younger so i have no trouble with it!! despite the fact i hated anything that had to do with cursive IM SUPER GLAD I WAS FORCED INTO LEARNING IT LMAOO thank you to my parents and elementary teachers :angel::angel:

i dont actually write cursive very often just because i prefere my regular handwriting :clap:

HIP HIP HOORAYING!!

I was taught how to write in cursive for like 2 days in the 4th grade before covid ruined that. Ever since then, no one has tried to teach it to me.

So now I cant read OR write in cursive  :/

writing cursive? no problem. but some ppl's calligraphy genuinely can only be compared to hieroglyphics so that makes reading it a million times harder 😭

read yes! write...no.

remember what the dormouse said... feed your head! ^_^

In my country its obligatory to write in cursive at all times, the only exception is when you have to write in english and they tell you to write in print

I write like a typewriter xd

Also I can read cursive depending on the person's handwriting..

I'm a normal person and I cannot decipher encrypted wartime messages :d
