To arms, fellow Duffers!

So I did some research. William Bradford separated most of his letters when he wrote. Thomas Jefferson did not use cursive consistently in the Declaration of Independence.

Therefore, cursive is not American.

I now realize that my previous attitude toward cursive was wrong. I repent. I make no excuses.

Forgive me, O Can.
 
On what? It isn't standing on the Can, or even the Cliff. And what is the use of something that doesn't stand on the Cliff?
 
No, it doesn't. If the first draft of the Declaration of Independence wasn't written in cursive, then cursive is un-American. Just check out this video, and you will see.
 
How would the signers of the Declaration have signed it without cursive? Hmm??

That's what I thought.

And thanks for the Studio C link, that show always makes me happier.

In frankness, though, dyslexic students like me find cursive much easier to understand than print. Many letters that are confusing in print have different forms in cursive and there's more distinction. I could go on about the benefits of cursive.

Actually, my youngest brother, who has some neurological problems from his DPT vaccination, preferred cursive writing to print almost as soon as he learned it. He's not dyslexic, but his hands shake sometimes. I guess that he finds it easier to connect all the letters, so he doesn't have to lift the pencil as much.

Psh. That's all you've got? It takes a little more to crush me. Try setting fire to a hay bale. Wait- No- Why am I giving you clues? Arghhh, I hate mind control.

Come on, I'm not going to do something you suggest. I would probably end up dying from some sort of technicality that you conveniently forgot to mention.
 
Don't confuse me and my typist, please. He ate the jellybeans, by the way, and lets you know they were excellent, and to please send more to 'crush Freckles with'.
