When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2006, just 15 percent of the almost 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive. The rest? They printed. Block letters.

Ah! That we still learn. I always write cursive. I have to focus to write each letter separate if I am required to do that. And I almost always end up joining some letters anyhow. It's much easier, and MUCH faster, to write in cursive. How to write cursive has changed over the years though. My mum learned to write it somewhat different than me, more elegant in some ways. I learned it pretty much as in your pics. My siblings learned a kind of cursive which is more alike printed letters.Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10

Yeah, the style has changed over the years. In the US, the type that most people my age learned was a type that has only been around since 1975 (it is represented by those images)."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
