Cursive makes no sense.

[All-American-Badass]

Seriously. who the hell came up with the design for some of the letters. they look nothing like their manuscript counterparts. you might as well be writing in Greek.

durp?

[Oolaph]

F, B, and R all make sense. It's really only S and Z that are odd.

[Boomstick]

Bitches love cursive.

[Stretchysumo]

This is why I never use cursive. Hell, I haven't used cursive since the third grade when we had to learn how to write stuff in cursive.

[SpaceWhale]

Well, it ca- ...maybe it'd be useful fo- ...you mighr be ab- ...never mind.

Same here.

"You'll be using cursive for the rest of your life" - my third grade teacher.
fuck that shit

[Yert]

I've written everything in cursive since 3rd grade.

[iamgrimreaper]

Yeah, if you look at it like it's supposed to be print, it makes no sense. But that's like looking at a bed of nails like it's supposed to make you want to lie down on it. Cursive isn't print, don't make that comparison.

[EDylan]

We already have two ways to write;
I want a third way.

[ModernPatriot]

I agree l, I fucking hating cursive. I never completely learned how to right in it, it's useless as fuck.

[Archawn]

Having actual standards for cursive is ridiculously stupid. They forced us to learn cursive in the third grade and I never understood why the hell anyone would ever use it. It wasn't until later I realized that cursive was merely the result of people trying to write as quickly as possible. I noticed that my printed letters seemed to slur together as I wrote faster and faster, and noticed that some of the shortcuts and habits I began to develop resembled the cursive we were force-fed in third grade.

The way I see it it's a personal style that you develop on your own and you can't really be taught how to write that way. Trying to teach a kid to write in cursive is pointless to me.

You know what? Fuck cursive. I went through school with every teacher saying, "practice your cursive, you'll using it all the time when you get older." Here I am, out of school, and guess what? I don't use cursive for anything besides my signature. Ever. Not one single person around me uses cursive for anything besides their signatures, and there some of them don't even use it for that. So I say again, fuck cursive.

[camobch0]

My fucking third grade teacher lied. I've never had to use it once, and almost definitely never will.

[Mizzjuicyflava]

The only time I write in cursive is when I'm signing. Other than that I hate it! My mother says writing in cursive looks more professional. I'm not good at making a cursive r and z.

[HighWay]

Well you're from the south so you wouldn't understand civilized writing styles.

Well, shucks, I durn't think scrbblins like a chicken tracks in the dert are all that civ'lized, hoss.

i read about it on cracked.com, its still around for the same reason the Americans are not using the metric system. Nobody feels like changing it, and most people are used to it. WE will be the next generation so with enough effort we could just stop using cursive all together.

[steph2568]

My teacher told me in 3rd grade that it was so important to learn but I only write in cursive when I have to sign something.

lying bitch

We have a much better chance of doing away with cursive than customary. We only use cursive for writing nice but we use the customary system for everything and it sucks.

[piepants]

I think it can be established that all of our third grade teachers were lying bitches.

I'm pretty sure you mean unhelpful high school teacher.

found this on KYM

[ThePineappleMagician]

I find learning Kanji far fucking harder than cursive.

[Boomstick]

Cursive helps make signatures for packages, packages such as another useless item from Amazon.

[satanbrain]

delta, sigma, chi and pi. They are greek letters.

[Raiespio]

I learned cursive in third grade because I had to. I relearned it in fifth grade because my English teacher made us write all our assignments in cursive. Haven't used it since, except to sign my name. I might learn it again if I can be convinced that it's better than script.

On a somewhat related note, I didn't learn to write print legibly until sixth grade. I still have trouble writing threes since I hold my pencil in a strange way.
