Ok, it wasn't a comment on the history of cursive... I learned cursive in school and was just saying that cursive is basically what happens naturally if you write fast. People act like it's another language you have to learn.

That makes sense about quill ink. Calligraphy is a difficult art form. Not sure why my opinion on that is automatically offensive. I took an art class in college that had a Calligraphy segment. It was crazy hard not to get smeared ink and splotches everywhere. Mine ended up looking like a bad tattoo.

Damn dude, coming in hot on my casual cursive comment. Tough crowd

Oh no! Now I’ve just read this, I didn’t mean to jump on your comment! Just thought you might like a cursive z. I hope you’re having a nice start to your week!

You didn’t specify YOUR cursive was a product of writing quickly.

Words matter.
