Only if you suck at cursive. Depending on how much effort I put in, both my cursive and print writing can look nice, but writing cursive causes mess stress over time. If I'm just jotting a quick note it doesn't matter and both look like ass, but if I'm taking notes for lecture or in a D&D campaign or something like that, where I'm writing a bunch over an hour or more, I see a huge drop off in quality after a bit of time when writing print.
My mother sucks at cursive then. I have to constantly call her when I do her shopping. If it was for personal notes, it wouldn't matter, but if you're communicating with other people, it's terrible.
Some people just have terrible hand writing, cursive or not
Yeah, but I don't know anyone whose cursive is more legible than their printing.
Sure, but cursive is still faster. So legible cursive is a good compromise.
I do, because despite all the work I put into it the letters all blur together. I forget a hump or two whem writing something like communication in cursive, and no amount of practice made a difference.
I can generally read poorly written cursive more easily than well done cusrive because I recognize which letters tend to be skewed. My father in laws lwriting was easier for me to read as his arthritis got worse!
But printed letters are always easier to read, which is why nobody uses cursive fonts when they type something up.
