I strongly dislike
cursive myself, so while I have the skill, I don't have any use for it. I refuse outright to use it. I'd rather feel the individual strokes of the pen as I write.
I don't honestly think cursive serves any purpose whatsoever in today's society. My print is very clearly readable, and I don't believe it when people say otherwise. So I choose to never write cursive, despite knowing how. I always despised how my teachers in elementary school tried and tried in vain to force me to write in cursive for more than what was necessary to learn it. It was a useless skill back then, and it's useless form of decorative writing today. Now I'm not saying that those who choose to use cursive are wrong, I just don't believe anyone should be forced to learn this. It should be something strictly pursued by those who care and wish for it; too often do I see otherwise perfectly readable handwriting demeaned because someone didn't want to use cursive. It's silly really.
We don't need to make our writing systems more complicated than they already are either, and cursive serves no greater purpose than making things more difficult to read and write.
