@kimlockhartga @bookstodon I don't think I've ever run into cursive in an actual book before. Interesting. I know they actually taught me cursive in school and I needed as I grew up. I'm left-handed at writing and it literally is easier to pull a pen than to push it. Taking notes in class was literally physically painful for me at times. Cursive is easier to write, so I required it just to get by. It's not my normal default though by any means, but of course I can read/write it fine. Or as well as anyone can... (Look, don't blame me if my handwriting looks like a doctor's, ok?)
@nazokiyoubinbou @bookstodon 😁 I'm with you on the handwriting thing. How often do we write by hand anymore?
I think it's probably only in graphic novels that we see variations in lettering that include cursive. I've seen different fonts used in novels, but I've only seen cursive used in graphic novels.
