No, it's not National Handwriting Day. We missed it. But......I have had conversations with people about how the art of cursive writing is being lost. The two articles above are interesting covering the progression and decline of cursive writing in history and what that means to people and society. Sadly, little time these days, is devoted to teaching cursive writing. The consequences of this lost ability are many. Unfortunately, the ability to even read older documents of history is lost and people growing up today do not even know how to read, let alone write in cursive. There will come a day when the Constitution will have to be re issued in manuscript print so citizens can read it! I myself, often speed write in a "cursivescript", what I call my manuscript/cursive blend, but I am proficient in cursive and manuscript. I even learned how to write calligraphy. It is so sad to see cursive becoming coming lost to our culture.
