Example: Old people often complain about young people not having “basic knowledge” and say that younger generations know and understand less of the world than they do.

      I’m not wasting time sourcing a half dozen research papers on cursive handwriting. Sorry. Read up on the topic yourself instead of knee-jerk hating something you never practiced enough to get good at. Like I said, I was a shitty cursive writer in highschool and years later when I began practicing my cursive I got better and began enjoying it. It is useful. It’s a great excuse to not use your phone (spybot) for everything like making a grocery list. These are just facts.

        That’s a lot of assumptions about me in a few sentences! I briefly searched for sources myself, but couldn’t find them. Since your comments here read like copy/pastes I guessed you had sources, but it seems it’s more like a religion to you; no sources because they’re just facts.

          I looked and found a probably AI page that conflated every study that looked at “writing by hand” with “cursive.” Honestly, the most stupid shit. Cursive is just a form of handwriting with a cult following.
