I was showing my son's girlfriend (in her 20's) some old pictures from our family one day and she could not read my handwriting on the backs...she kept asking me what it said. She is not dumb just not educated in cursive.
I had a German friend who wrote in an older style cursive and I had to really work at reading her letters because the letters were different from what I learned. So, it evolves to printing now - Sad...I wonder if one day we will have to have a tablet or cellphone to write for us! LOL
