<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 25317531, member: 24754&quot;]Chime back in [USER=147679]@Dansco_Dude[/USER] , I&#039;m really curious to get a handle on whether this was a joke or not. Not being judgmental, if a person hasn&#039;t been taught something then it should not be a surprise to anybody that they do not have the knowledge base to perform a learned task.</p><p><br /></p><p>Born in 1976, I of course was taught cursive in elementary school. I&#039;ve heard that it is not being taught anymore, and I do not feel strongly one way or the other about it. I&#039;ve found that I use handwriting so infrequently in my later life (and use print when need arises) that I&#039;ve lost a lot of my skill in writing cursive. I can pull it off, but it takes quite a bit of effort (How do you bridge between those two letters again?! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). If it&#039;s of that little use to me as an adult, then maybe it&#039;s not a good use of time to teach it to the younger generations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I apparently can still read it pretty well though, as I got through the OP letter at almost normal speed (had to do a double take on a few words). But, it never occurred to me until now that cursive would look like &quot;hieroglyphics&quot; to somebody with no exposure. If so, then that is interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
