Can your teen read cursive?
No! My 19 year old was in the last class in our school district to learn and practice cursive. He can read and write it. My daughter, who is a sophomore this year, was never taught cursive at all. I taught her to sign her name in cursive so she has a true signature, but no, she can’t read it well. She does try. I write in half printing / half cursive so she sees it often enough, but has to ask what words are often. If I gave her a page hand written in cursive, she would have to give it to me to read. Sad huh? She can take a state mandated test like a pro though. And set up a lap top and wireless printer on a new router and network in a flash without directions. But no cursive.
Can you read and/or write in cursive?
I want so see how many teenagers can read or write in cursive. It's a thing of the past, and not many places require it anymore. I remember we had to learn it in 3rd grade, because our teacher told us we would need to know it in middle and high school, but so far, we haven't. For the most part, I can write MOST cursive letters and I can read in cursive. 1. Can you write in cursive? 2. Can you read in Cursive? 3. How old are you? 4. When/Where did you learn it? BQ- 90's kids, what are the things you miss and the things you've noticed about kids today that are different than when we were growing up, and in school? When were you born? I've noticed kids are not being as disciplined these days as us and they have more expensive toys. My birthday is November 2nd, 18 next Friday! :) I'm a little spooked by that :/
Can someone who can read cursive read this and tell me what it says?
At a glance it looks like ‘Steam Punk,’ with the a in steam not fully formed; but, being on a curved line underneath, I would guess it to be a signature. That increases the difficulty of reading it.The first word could be Steve or Steven. The actual letters shown are S-t-e-u-m.The second word has these possible letters P-U or e-r?-n?-k or z?Punk, Purk, Purlz, Pemlz, Purk, Purlz, Pumlr, Pualr,Perak, Peralr, ?With a signature the name could be any combination of letters. Signatures often omit letters or combine them making them indistinguishable so even with the entire document available to deduce context it would be difficult to pin that down.If the rest of the document is available there would be a greater chance at deciphering the words (if they are independent words) within the documents context. Based on what is presented, ‘Steam Punk’ would be my best guess followed by ‘Steven Perak.’I’ve seen a number of memes claiming that cursive is dying out and will soon be an effective code style for all of us who learned it in school. It is still being taught, at least in my nephews and nieces classes, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it has been dropped in many public school systems.
Can you actually read Russian cursive?
лилии, дымишь, дышишь, лишишься, слышишь, шиншиллы, ишемия.(lilies, to smoke(to make smoke), breathe, you’ll lose, you hear, chinchillaa, ichaemia)I suspect this is not a real handwriting, though ,and was made using a font or photoshop.Here’s one more:“Функции гос-ва в условиях рынка, правовая (определение правовой основы), экономическая (????рование экономического поведения), производсвтво товаров и услуг.”Functions of a country in market circumstances, legal (definition of legal base), economic (???? economic behavior), creation of goods and services”Aside from half of one word I couldn’t decipher, I can read it.Now, “medical cursive” is another story.Ша??бир??ш?б??? …nope.
I can't write or read cursive. Should I be concerned?
Today this Valentine's Day, my mom gave me a card with a beautiful message in cursive. At first glance, I couldn't read anything. I had to pretend that I knew what the card said, and thanked her. Upon a closer analysis, I managed to break the message down, but it took me forever to do so. There were a few words that I cannot identify at all, and it made me feel so stupid. This really concerns me how I cannot write or read (barely read) in cursive. I know cursive is a dying language, but I believe cursive is an essential artwork required to be known by mankind. It's much faster too than regular writing. Should I be worrying about cursive at all? I mean, it was painful for me to fake my happiness in front of my mom when she gave me the card. And for all I know, she could have called me stupid or something and could've gotten away with it. Also, how can I learn how to write and read cursive? Any good sites out there?
How do kids sign their names if they are not being taught cursive?
They will print their names, just as they do in the classroom. I can assure you, some students’ printing is just as illegible as their cursive. There will be some parents who will teach them cursive, or at least to write their names in cursive. There will also be some teachers who will teach it even if it isn’t part of the normal curriculum. Horray for them!!
Why can't black liberals read cursive?
@original- She's black. 99.9% of blacks voted for Obama. She's illiterate. 65% of high school drop outs voted for Obama. She's fat like most people that get welfare. And she's on the side of liberal hero Trayvon. I'd say the odds are 100% she's a liberal.

Do i have to sign things in cursive?
From my little dig around the web (this question really caught my attention) it appears you do not have to write your signature in cursive. The thing that was interesting about it is this, though -- if you put your signature on a source document in cursive, documents relating to that must also be in cursive For example, let's say you open a safe deposit box account. You sign your name on the contract for the safe deposit box in cursive. When you go to visit your safe deposit box and sign in, you'll have to sign your admittance slip in cursive because the original contract was in cursive and they need to compare the two signatures. Here's what I found on the web. (This deals with voter registration signatures): several states have this rule on the books, including Ohio’s declaration, “A signature must be written in cursive on the petition if it is in cursive on the elector’s registration record” and Delaware County’s “’Signature’ means that person’s written, cursive-style legal mark written in that person’s own hand.” The reader notes, I think the cursive vs. printed rules are going the way of the dinosaurs, but in the old days it was a way of assuring petition integrity. The signature on the petition has to be seen to match the signature on the voter registration card. Successful challenges are usually to petition “signatures” in printed hands when the voter id card on file has a cursive “signature.” So the two dont match. I see the reasoning behind it, although in Chicago, I suppose that it would also determine if the voter’s signature changed after he died.
