11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment, when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

You haven't used cursive? You don't sign any debit card receipts or contracts, signed a check, etc. or anything??

For example, if you used a debit card at a restaurant, you would still need to sign your name on the check. You need to sign leases, mortgage paperwork, your name when you open a bank account....

I think I know where they are coming from. I can sign my name in cursive. When was the last time I used any of the other letters? When they showed them to me in school for the first time and then again for the test. Since then I can only sign my own name in cursive and I haven't yet found a reason to remember the rest!

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. I only use cursive when I sign my name, that's it. I home school our 11 year old daughter, and I am teaching her cursive.

My signature is more like a bunch of squiggly lines than actual letters.

Thats funny, my wife is teaching our 11 y/o daughter 'curse-ive' too. Especially when I do something uncool.

is cursive diagonal letters like in word? can't write like that, never learned it either.
the habdwriting we learned in elementary was different from how I write now tough, we learned a kind of writing where the letters in one word were connected to eachother and the letters had a lot of loops and round shapes etc.
switched to witing in blockletters at the end of elementary since my writing got harder to read each year, wih blockletters my writing became readable again.

 

[Puffers]

Lol ya my wife and i were trying to write each others and our kids names in cursive it was pretty funny.
hard mode: use non dominant hand and attempt writing cursive, if for no other reason then to laugh at each others horrible attempts at whats supposed to pass as hand writing but probably looks more like drawings from a 2 y/o

That's cursive.

 

[djonkoman]

ah ok, all this time every time I saw someone mention cursive online I thought all kids in america earned to write wth diagonal letters like the cursive-setting on word
I don't think we really have a name for it in dutch, ' aan elkaar schrijven', conected writing, would probably be the best and most widely understood
