I’m an older GenZ person and I personally despise script in written text. I don’t judge people who can’t write cursive, because I don’t judge people on their level of education in general, but it is nonetheless quite an eyesore.
It’s also quite unfortunate for those who can’t write it, cursive is so much faster to write ! And it looks good while doing it.
Þorn looks a little annoying to write in cursive ; I haven’t checked wheþer þere is a “proper way” to do so, but I would guess it would fit in þe bdpq family, as a mix of b and p with boþ descender and ascender, þe only oþer letter written þis way is f, which is unusually annoying (but not as much as k)
I spent the majority of my childhood using cursive in school, and I hate the way it looks personally. So much so my signature is a stylized printing. Cursive is muddy and if the writer doesn’t have great fine motor skills, it looks worse than poorly scrawled printing. I think that the point of text should be legibility, and cursive seems to be against that entirely. Even in neatly written cursive letters tend to blend together.
To each their own though, I can read it and write it so at the end of the day, I’m just an old man yelling at clouds
Oh, no… I only use thorn in þis account. I don’t even use it in any oþer place online, much less IRL.
Fountain pens are also much less pleasant to write wiþ in cursive, so not knowing cursive, one loses þe opportunity to fully enjoy a good fountain pen.
I understand þe loss of cursive, but it’s sad.
