I agree on the need for a sarcasm font. I suggest italics that lean the other way.

Quite agree with the needlessness of learning cursive. I don't think I've used it since like fifth grade, except twice: once on the SAT, and once on the GRE, when you have to write out a little passage in cursive to show that you understand. It takes me like eight minutes to write twenty words too because I have to desperately search my memory for how to make those letters again.

What's cursive? Isn't it joined-up writing?

I have enough trouble with handwriting as it is, thanks to poor fine motor skills from the Asperger's. Practically every issue with handwriting I have is excaberated when I have to write cursive. That statement for the SAT took me longer to write than it did for the other students in the room, and I was so focused on individual letters that I couldn't even tell you what it said immediately after writing it. |

Grade school teachers always built it up, like we would have to use cursive in all our assignments in high school, but that never materialized. My normal printing has always been decent, but my cursive absolutely atrocious. If my teachers actually had known how bad my cursive was, they would have been thanking me for saving them hours trying to decipher chicken scratch. My mom will sometimes write notes in horrible cursive, which I then pass around to other family members, asking what they think this word is. Maybe they enforced some sort of cursive only rule long ago in school, because those notes would be readable if they were printed. I'm glad they stopped enforcing it. To me, cursive is just a way to write more slowly and less legibly.
Oh god, I just realized that whole thing I just typed can be read in Andy Rooney's voice.

Unfortunately, signatures require cursive.
I also agree with the need for a sarcasm font.
I think it should kinda waver up and down. Since you know how sarcasm tends to exaggerate the tone of voice and all.

What's cursive? Isn't it joined-up writing? Yes, it's just printing where you draw lines at the bottom to connect the words |

Unfortunately, signatures require cursive. Mine started as cursive, but over time has degenerated to my capital initials followed by squiggly lines. So not really. |

My mother writes in an odd, print-cursive hybrid. I tend to go back and forth from one to the other, depending on how quickly I want to write (my elementary school penmanship class both fucked up my report card, and ensured that I can write some fast cursive). Unfortunately, my fast cursive is legible only to me.

I can't write in print anymore, it just takes me too long to draw all the letters out. That said, if I write cursive as fast as I can it rapidly become illegible.
