Can I do cursive writing? Yes, I curse all the time.

How sad. You claimed that you cannot read or write handwritten notes.Sir-Sister-of-Suck wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2017 2:10 amWhy do you find it horrifying? Is teaching children to write the same language, but in a different font, such an important milestone to their education? What practical use does it have, besides not understanding when other people use it? I think it would be far more intriguing and beneficial if we taught people to use Morse, and other basic coding.Hobbes' Choice wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2017 6:55 pmChildren in the UK never stopped learning to write.
I find what this thread implies about the US educational system horrifying.
That I can't read.... in a certain font?
Well, I'm pretty sure I can read or write hand-written print just fine.You claimed that you cannot read or write handwritten notes.
I mean, morse code is still mandatory to know in certain military fields like the traffic guard, and learning to write in basic codes certainly has benefits for things like programming. But really, I'm just showing how there are things far more important. Ultimately, I really don't think cursive has this trove of benefits that calls for you to automatically denounce the idea of those who feel they don't need to learn/teach it anymore as something 'horrifying'. The main benefit, is that you know what other people are saying when they use it - which is, ironically, only perpetuated by the problem of teaching it in the first place.Morse code is all but redundant, handwriting is not.
You want to impose this failing onto others?
