For example, older people will say something like “oh it’s so sad that younger people don’t write cursive anymore!” like why is that sad lol. It’s 2022, everything is done in emails or on computers. The last time I ever had to write out a paper was probably middle school. The only thing you need cursive for today is your signature which most people just do a scribble anyways. it’s not a skill that’s needed. It’s not a skill that’s used. So why should they waste kids time by teaching them cursive anymore? When are they EVER going to use it? And then it’s especially annoying when they act like younger generations are stupid for not knowing these old skills. Like oh I’m stupid for not knowing how to set up a ham radio from 1934 but you can’t figure out how to change the input on your tv. Please.

I forgot cursive that I can not tell between historical written and cursive some times

Luckily in my profession, terrible handwriting is a feature, not a bug.

I do agree that older people put too much emphasis on writing cursive lol.

Or mine coal. Why did we spend so much time saving those jobs?

Well things like the Pademic and other incident's where cell, computer and social media not around you can then make a list to go get food lol

And once the EMP strikes they be fit for nothing but my cooking pot

who the fuck can't write cursive lmao

Just use an "X" when the bank checks your I. D.

A chapter in "my way or the highway"?

  I think people our age or older all know cursive but it’s not something they teach to younger generations anymore so kids today won’t know it unless they learn it on their own
