One advantage to writing in cursive is you will be able to write much faster than printing, so it will be easier to take notes in school. Of course, neither you nor anyone else will be able to READ those notes… but it isn’t a problem because the class was video recorded.

♦

Cursive improves neural pathways in a manner that typing cannot. And, improved neural pathways can only mean one thing: More pie!

♦

Cursive also increases fine motor skills for whenever you need to repair a fine motor.

♦

If you sign checks in cursive rather than printing, cashiers will stop checking to see if you are two children, one on the other’s shoulders.

♦

Training in cursive will give you the skills you’ll need to spell-check the Declaration of Independence.

♦

When you write in cursive, you use both hemispheres of the brain. Scientists feel that this can also lead to more pie.

♦

If you don’t learn cursive, how can you ever read the eventful letters of J. Wigglebottom the Third?

♦

Dyslexics find it easier to use cursive than print because there is less starting and stopping; also, with most script handwriting, you can’t tell what anything is past the first letter.

♦

A strong bold handwriting will give you more confidence; and, that new-found confidence will lead ultimately to hubris-related failure… but also pie!

♦

Without cursive, handwriting analysts would have to get real jobs like astrologer or life coach…
