I tried googling it but only found people saying studies showed cursive helped children instead. I didn't really go into details but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for.

Raskolnikov38 posted:that would be an intelligent move to reduce the possible charges he faces if caught I think a lot of places have laws that say exactly the opposite. Use a toy gun to rob a liquor store, and you get charged exactly as if the gun had been real. The faster you write, the longer it takes the reader to decipher it. Which is why I always thought of cursive as somewhat impolite.

Gnoman posted:Multiple studies have found that schoolchildren writing in block letters write faster and more legibly than cursive writing from people who have been writing in cursive for their entire lives. Cursive is useful if you are using a dip or fountain pen because it reduces blotting. If you are using a ballpoint or pencil it is completely useless. My mother handwrites exclusively in cursive and it is real difficult to read. Sometimes she can't even read her own handwriting, it can make reading the shopping list an adventure. I was never great with cursive (being a lefty didn't help, I'm sure), all I can really remember is how to sign my name, and over the years that's just devolved into squiggles. Sometimes I think I should retrain myself on cursive just to save my poor signature.

I learned cursive in school, but like so many other people I never use it except to sign my name. And as an archivist, I have to be able to read cursive because I'm frequently working with old letters and other materials written in cursive. Pogo 6/10/51  Archie 3/8-10/48

Learning to write cursive is only valuable because it's part of learning how to read cursive. Learning to read cursive is important because there's a fuckton of documents out there still that are only in cursive. Personal correspondence for example, or old books that weren't typeset. gently caress letting boomers be the only ones who can decide which of those documents are worth transcribing so you can read them.

I know we've occasionally bitched about some of the Crabgrass stories that went a little too long and were a bit off the wall, so I'll say this - I really liked that last arc. It was paced well, was funny, and touching without being saccharine.

Jules half-assing research for her rushed strip? No! Laughing at the nuclear burn of "had more straightforward, believable characters and storylines" referring to Jamesallen, of all things. This Crabgrass was very good! Big laughs at Josh own goaling himself at the last second. A surprisingly poignant insight from the Retail author again, as per usual. Give a manager enough sunk cost fallacy and what choice do they have but to believe?

It's loving incredible that Jules has cocked up Mark Trail so badly that people are genuinely admitting that Jam Esallen did it better. They're right.
