I want a greasemonkey userscript that changes all text on all websites to a good, readable cursive font. Oh wait there aren't any.

I'm unironically going to a gallery show of handwritten cursive tomorrow night and am extremely stoked about it. Lettering is fun and cool

People who bitch about cursive not being taught are basically saying they're mad our already poo poo school system doesn't waste time teaching calligraphy that barely any of the students will have any use for. I'm real sorry about the modern world changing, y'all.

I primarily wrote cursive throughout my school years (you know, back when people actually wrote stuff with pencils). I was pretty talented and received high praise from my teacher. Later on I encountered several other teachers who could not read it, and I was asked to rewrite whole sections of my papers to make them more legible. So, the moral is: gently caress writing. Or, my teachers might have been robots.

Not even accurate, they are quite good at it because who the gently caress else sends letters in the mail but 80 year olds? Robots read all those addresses to grandchildren that never write back!

The worst was having a teacher who was convinced that teaching us cursive would save our lives one day, and that we'd be glad we know how to write in cursive when we were in college. God that was a giant waste of everyone's time.

I write using a horrible abomination that's half-print half-cursive, all loopy and crooked. The only writing skill you need in high school/college is the ability to take notes very fast, which is how my handwriting took form.

I'm glad i'm none of your mothers around mother's day/birthday/christmas time. I would probably kill myself. That would teach you. A dead mother. Your mother. But dead. Your dead mother. Because you can't write.

In the internet age people getting worked up about fonts is about as justifiable as old people getting worked up about cursive. Hell, I hear in schools today that if you submit an assignment in Papyrus font you get whipped raw with a HDMI cable.
