lol @ Hessah

Don't think I ever made that kind of typo except the sec/sex one.

Same here. D:
A few years ago, I had a teacher who talked to the class about net speak/texting and actually using it while writing an essay... I was thinking: would anyone actually do that? Maybe for taking notes in class or something, I would understand... but an essay?

ditto

LOOOLLL wut. Fail!

Why bother teaching cursive, really...

It's only useful for signatures. Standard print is faster, and much more legible.

;O
its been a long time since i've used cursive
at my old private school we would always have to write assignments in cursive, except spelling tests because they didn't want us to forgot how to write it standard

Right brain, left brain.

Motor skill development.

Also, develops recognition skills of other people's handwriting.

I don't even see people use it for signatures...

It's just a line scribble!

They take a class to write like that. And Yosei is right they do it to prevent people from being able to copy and/or read them. I believe people who work for pharmacies have to be trained to read them as well.

I used to do this a lot until I realized: "Wait I think I've been typing this wrong.." without even noticing...been trying hard to use it correctly now a days but the internet has made it a bad habit...


I remember when they taught it in second grade or so for me they said it's what you will use the rest of your life. So we learned and learned and practiced and practiced, never used it after fourth grade. Let alone high school or anything else.
