What's your opinion on handwriting?

I recently purchased and received three used calligraphy books from Poshmark.com. They'll be great for learning new techniques and gaining inspiration. I've been into calligraphy for about 40 years but only started because I couldn't master cursive handwriting and my teacher accepted calligraphy as a substitute! What do you think of handwriting?What's your opinion on handwriting?

    Calligraphy is a waste of time. Only need is to write special invitations or documents.

    Point taken. But I saved probably $1000 on wedding invitations because I addressed all my own (300+).
  • I think everyone should learn to do cursive. I believe it builds eye/ hand coordination. 
  • I think everyone should still be taught cursive in school. 3 of my coworkers in their late 20's can't read it or write in cursive. Very sad!

    I agree, but I will also add that cursive has evolved so much that as one who can read cursive, I cannot always read cursive from my great grandparents or their census takers.....
