    Damn. Had I known Swedish people, I'm sure their handwriting would be strange too.

        The funny thing is that whenever I write in cursive after I hit the "enter" button the message turns into a bunch of asteriks.

          My hand writing is a mix of cursive and print. Since I almost never write to people using hand writing (I always use my computer, even for letters), I sorta unlearned "to curse" (use cursive) properly.

            I guess that's the German way: precision with trains, free for all with handwriting.
            The german I know at work has amazingly beautiful handwriting. How in the hell can a german write English better than all of us americans?

              Dis, were you aware that your handwriting and the language you write in are not connected?

                  I'm not sure what you are getting at. Yes it is true, most of the letters are the same. But not all of them. German has this weird B letter. Called a double S.

                  But do they teach cursive the same in other countries as in the U.S.?

                    That's an es-tset (literally SZ) which is used as a double S. English had some odd letters in the past. In colonial era documents such as the US Constitution there was a letter like a cursive f that was used as a double s (as in the Congref of the US...). Go back a few more centuries and there were other extra letters.

                      I was one of those boys who was forced to learn to write too soon, so I struggled constantly with my handwriting. Because of this I concentrated on printing, as it was usually much more legible. When I learned Russian in the Army they taught us to write the Cyrillic letters in cursive and to print the Roman letters, which turned out to be incredibly useful for the work we were doing. These days I am basically incapable of writing roman letters in cursive, and for what it's worth I never learned to print cyrillic letters either.
