    I never learned cursive, my native tongue uses an entirely different script, so for learning English as a second language, separate letters sufficed. This is what all cursive text looks like to me. I can never read it, even if I try really hard.

      Yeah, tends to get like that after speed and comfort start having more weight in the process. Switched to D’Nealian Handwriting (apparently), with more inertial Cursive motions than evident in the example given on the site, because I started having trouble reading my own handwriting once I got into high-school and had to fill up half a damned notebook during Maths and Geography classes…

        Interesting list. My handwriting is mostly what’s called “print handwriting” here, but my a and t are like the D’Nealian ones. And needless to say, my handwriting is not as pretty as any of these.

          Honestly, doesn’t even have to be… Handwriting is slowly but surely becoming an obsolete means of recording information, most everything’s typed nowadays. Unfortunate (*purely subjective opinion, I enjoy writing by hand A LOT!)

          As long as someone else can understand it at first (or second, s’fine!) glance, no need for it to be pretty:D
