    It’s not neater, it’s a bunch of random squiggles. Their p doesn’t have a closed loop, and instead makes a detour straight upwards like an l. And their S is pure nonsense.

    The older generation prefers cursive because it’s faster and less effort to write, and they don’t give a shit that it’s harder for everyone else to read. It’s selfishness and it’s rudeness. “Let future generations struggle to read my handwriting, I’m not putting any effort into historic legislature.”

      Yeah I’m just going to keep writing my own notes however I want. I tend to use smallcaps for anything that needs to be legible, I even did all my revision cards like this during my A-levels so other people could borrow them. But I really don’t think I’m being selfish when I use joined-up writing (that’s what we usually call cursive here).
