Can read and write it easily. It was taught to me all througout k-5. Nobody wants you to use it now though is the wierd thing, only your signature really, haha. I can write faster in cursive than in print witch is wierd to me. Also the SAT cursive thing is interesting to me. The one I took here in NC didn’t have a must use cursive section. ---

In Norway, this is actually how kids learn to write (not sure if this system is still around). I stopped writing in cursive a long time ago though, as some people had trouble reading it. Now I’m also in the situation where everything I write apart from sheet music is written on a computer. Cursive is much faster if you know how to write in it though, it’s a shame that so many people can’t read it. ---

As JonasK said. I can probably write three times as fast in cursive as with print. Though i have to write in print when i know that someone is going to read what i’ve written, since my writing is so ugly. ---

does only being able to write your name in cursive count because your handwriting is that not that legible? [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/can-you-read-write-in-cursive/52097.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/can-you-read-write-in-cursive/52097.md?page=3)
