Other than my signature, I haven't used cursive writing since 1975. I had lovely cursive when I was able to take my time, but henscratch if I was in a hurry. I found that I could print almost as fast with much greater legibility. The only times I used cursive in school or college were when time was getting crunchy. Then it was "Okay, Professor Asshole, if you're only giving me 15 minutes to answer that question then try to read this!"
