I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

Cursive is dumb anyways. Let's have a second way to write that's harder To do, less legible, and designed for old school fountain pens no one uses that have difficulty with upstrokes
Harder to read, but easier to write.
And not that it matters but there are still fountain pen users, makers, influencers and all that, it's a niche hobby now.
I have 20-30 fountain pens. Negative on the cursive.
Unrelated, what's your EDC?
What's an EDC?
Also enjoy how that commend apparently made people sad lol.
Every day carry?
Im cursive myself but to each their own.
I have a Procyon Platinum, but I stopped carrying it because it would run dry if not left flat. I have not yet found a fountain pen that will work for me if carried vertically in a pocket or backpack.
As far as my preferred daily users, it's the TWSBI Eco--they hold a whole lot of ink and flow very well. I have rolls full of pen after pen I have acquired over the years. It's always the Eco that I go back to. I should probably focus my collection there!
Decent choice, and very collectible, I recommend the twsbi VAC mini and the diamond 580 series as they both have decent capacity and are wet writers, a bit more $ mind you but not astronomical
Will check it out, cheers!
So, so much harder to write. Painful, tedious, and unnatural.
I mean I don't see how? it's the equivalent of swiping vs typing on the phone
Maybe I’m weird, but I still prefer to type vs swipe too. Swipe is super inaccurate and I spend more time fixing errors than typing
And you make more errors with swiping than if you had a physical keyboard.
