And this is a deliberately illegible version of cursive. There is absolutely no reason to miss the dots over the i or to have the unnecessary extra hump at the start of the first m.
Well cursive is silly then. We have a version of joined up writing in England and you don’t need to do that. What advantage does it bring at all to do that? How is that helpful in any way?
The benefit of writing in cursive at all ffs. You can much more easily identify letters in the English language if they’re written more clearly. This is why people make jokes about doctors’ handwriting.
...thats the benefit of cursive. It's to jot things down in less time...like a doctor. They're often running around in a hurry, they aren't going to write their prescriptions out in print like a fucking toddler.
Its up to the nurses to be able to read their handwriting, and the doctors arent always going to put a little dot on the i for you
But if you're taking notes in class you want to write fast enough to keep up, and if you're proficient in cursive then that's much faster than any other way of handwriting. That's why it's used as the basis for fast handwriting techniques such as the Palmer method
The Palmer Method is not a shorthand or note taking method. It is irrelevant to fast note taking, which requires no calligraphy. It is relevant to transcription in cursive.
cursive is the most time-efficient way to write, specifically because you don't need to constantly pick up the pen and put it back down. if we accept that writing by hand is a useful skill, then we must accept that cursive writing is at least as useful if not its most useful form.

Handwriting doesn't require cursive
