As someone who didn't learn English as a first language, cursive is like another language to me. I don't recognize half of the letters, and i never encountered it enough to properly learn it or have an incentive to learn it.

[Serious]Can you read when you tilt a page 30° to the left? Or is it more about the font type than the font angle?

I think you're thinking of italics, not cursive.

Your are correct, I looked up the difference.

Seems though I learned cursive at school when I was 6 without realizing it is called cursive in English (English is not my first language) . Didn't know this wasn't a thing in other countries.

I downvoted myself :D
