General Discussion

back when illiteracy was more widespread, they just "made their mark"...

Signing a check is about the only thing I would ever use cursive for, now,
but I haven't even done that in a few years--- use a debit card,
and pay bills online to save the postage, which is now getting really expensive for just a letter...
(but "forever" First Class stamps are really cool--- I still have half a book which I bought about five years ago!)


With everyone using computers and printing things out,
and sending emails and texts, there isn't much point in cursive--
although if you haven't learned it, it might be difficult
to read some historical documents or old family letters.....
