In the US they've stopped teaching cursive, at least in some areas.
In the right hands and with the right practice, cursive is beautiful and a work of art.
Look how neat that handwriting is. None of that nonsense scrawl they introduce in KS2 now (I believe Americans call it cursive)

This pretty much sums up Facebook/Instagram inboxes.

Even [0], the US declaration of independence, is horrendous to read compared to this 8 year old girl's handwriting.

Good riddance. If people want to learn those arts they can always go to the monetary with their sensei.

And the rest of the time it's illegible scrawl and has no place in basic education. Even [0], the US declaration of independence, is horrendous to read compared to this 8 year old girl's handwriting. https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-declaration-of-independenc... ?
A major part of why we teach (or taught) writing cursive is because it also helps teach you to read cursive. You may not need to write much, but until recently you would encounter written cursive all the time. In my experience it's still common enough. It'd be awkward to be unable to read the New Year's cards from my older relatives.

It feels somehow significant that the Facebook reply ended up being its own message in a bottle.
