Get over this doomer horseshit, it allows you to absolve yourself in your own mind and does nothing to help anything. It's also incredibly tiring.

And lmao if you think kids picking short term over long is a new thing. It's a very well established fact of child psychology.

The hell you talking about? I'm saying that adults aren't doing so hot at thinking of the long term either. How the hell is that doomer?

Thank gently caress I'm not one of your students, I wouldn't have any respect for you either you senile old windbag.

Everyone chill. I also kinda read your post as saying that the state of the world made it hard to blame someone for taking brief pleasure while they're still able. Thanks for clarifying.

When I was a kid I was taught to include the weird loop too. A lot of letters had that weird useless loop at times.

Cursive was a scam by the pencil and pen industry to sell more pencils and pens because it uses more lead/ink and we all fell for it.

Cursive is just the poo poo you do with a regular pen. Seems like you want to know calligraphy. I took calligraphy when I was younger and yes it is pretty dope.

Back when I was a lad, in third grade, I was taught script penmanship with a fountain pen. Ball-point pens were the preferable instrument of the older kids & adults - but to teach us, we used Pelikans.

You don't lift a fountain pen from the page unless & until you absolutely have to. You want to avoid 'blotting' ink, so the training was to write smooth and continuously with a light touch. Changes in direction thus created loops.

That's an American script "r." Wait until you see the English style, which is was I was taught.



Years later, I moved back to the US and started mixing the two styles, so my handwriting is really hosed-up. But I dumped the "s" and "r" immediately.

Thank gently caress I'm not one of your students, I wouldn't have any respect for you either you senile old windbag.

Because "Have you looked at the world recently?" is a very common doomer thing to say. Lol, glad to know that misunderstanding your poorly worded argument makes me a "senile old windbag". It's good that you're not one of my students as that inability to adequately present your thoughts would certainly cost you points on any written assignment.

Anyways, regardless of the failings of adults to consider the future, kids are still measurably worse.

That’s a Capitol printed R next to a lowercase cursive r, or so my extreme training in public Arizona schools has taught me.
