@thespeechprof above is why i am so grateful i was taught cursive. It is a dopamine field for my adhd/synethesia/dyslexia brain. For me, it's easier to read, but the actual physical experience of having the pen leave this ribbon of ink that undulates its way into language - oh, it's like a sexy little miracle every time i look at a blank page and pick up a pen. Also, for someone who got kicked out of kindergarten for cursing, being able to say i am fluent in cursive is a great pun cursivewriting
