Different circles I guess then. Everyone I knew wrote in cursive when I was younger. Regarding your intelligence comment, it's not an intelligence issue, just an education and exposure issue. Learning cursive is easier than learning to write all-together, but if you're never taught, and you're not exposed to it, then you're probably not going to learn it. It's such a simple thing to learn that I don't understand the aversion everyone on this thread has towards it. It's pretty nice when you have to write a lot of text, like taking notes or journaling.
The aversion in my case comes from seeing time being wasted on that when teachers could use it to teach much more useful things or making sure that kids learned everything else they've been taught.
