I looked it up; the word "cursive" is derived from the Latin word for "running". No curses involved.
(And as a guy who remembers stuff like VCRs (my parents had quite the collection of Beta tapes back in the day), 8-tracks, a carbon paper, I do still use cursive. lol)
@Ghost: i taught myself cursive in adulthood because i was sick of my print looking like shit.
my cursive, now, looks like poop. it's better than my printing, though, even if not by much.
All right then, I stand corrected. Do they still insist on teaching it in school? Even in the 3rd grade I thought it was a waste of time.
I remember VCRs quite well, along with the cream spinach colored Game Boy, phones with cords & hotel keys. I also recall MTV playing videos & Marvel Movies not existing.
Both my print & script look like crap. I use print because it's just faster, not that I have to write much of anything anyway. Almost everything is typed, & I like it that way.

I have no idea.

Print is also faster for me, I use it in classes to take notes. The major downside is that my print is so terrible that it's hard for me to read my course notes a year or two after taking the classes. So if I find something to be extremely important, or pretty, I'll write it in cursive in a secondary collection of notebooks so I can reference it later. Sadly, I didn't copy any of my topology notes or my math history notes into cursive and now I regret it.
I also grade homework/exams in cursive because otherwise students wouldn't know what I'm writing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
