I haven't written cursive in many years, i should try it again but since i'm out of practice i find it takes more time to write than going print. Which of course does lead to hand cramps etc

You need to practice it. It's a survival skill. You'll never know when you'll need it.

  • I'm almost 30 and I haven't run into a "survival situation" where I needed cursive.

    I would hazard a guess it falls below knowing Spanish but above folding origami cranes.

    • No, definitely not. Although it depends where you are. If you are near South America etc, then Spanish would be useful to know.

      I have used it before when I've lost a phone etc, or if I had no way of contacting someone otherwise. I can think of more dramatic situations too. Technology can be helpful but if you're overreliant on it then that is a potential weakness.
