I'm a millennial. I was also taught cursive for absolutely no reason.

First of all, why? It's supposed to be easier/quicker to write things down using cursive but honestly, I can't understand people's chicken scratch cursive anyways, so it's basically meaningless. You might as well give someone a list of scribbles and just have them call you later for what it should say.

That's basically it. Signatures, sure, maybe, but bluntly, who gives a damn?

Fuck cursive.

might be true... but you don't learn writing cursive with those ;)

And? Playing games has been a far better use of my time than learning cursive.

Times I've written in cursive: nil.

Games I've played: more than nil.
