Comment Re:Illegible Cursive going away? Oh Noez! (Score 1) 857

A handwritten note or letter, irrespective of whether it's to a girlfriend you're looking to woo, a boss you want to thank, an interviewer you want to impress, or to a family member with whom you want to share something personal, is far more effective (and meaningful) than a piece of paper spit out of a laserjet printer.

A beautiful hand-drawn picture will be more personal than a Hallmark card, and a personally-performed serenade will be more personal than playing romantic music on the radio as well, if you've chosen to invest years of your life making that an art. But we don't force people to learn drawing or music in school for that reason. It may be important to learn to read cursive, and it may be laudable to learn calligraphy, but that doesn't mean that we should lament that people who were never going to write beautiful cursive anyway will only be printing or typing.
