I find cursive handwriting faster to read because the words are grouped together better.
I’m old and learned cursive from grade one and I still find it horrible to decipher hahaha
It strongly triggers my "let's do anything other than this" response when I go to read it. The printed one doesn't trigger it at all.
Why is it that whenever cursive comes up the main argument in its favor always boils down to avoiding reading or writing longer than absolutely necessary? I read as fast as I want to and I can type faster than anyone could possibly write legibly so I am not sure what the appeal is.
