Depends on whose cursive you're talking about, lol. Mine used to be lovely, but arthritis and lack of doing it have left me with not as nice writing.

Over 10 years ago, while proctoring SAT exams at the school where I worked, it became obvious that students were unable to write in cursive. There was one sentence that they had to write, declaring that they were the person they said, and sign their name. It would often take 10 minutes for students to write this out, and even then, some were just connecting the printed letters with a line.

As biometrics become more readily available, even signatures will probably become unnecessary. Can't use my fingerprint, they've faded away to nothing.
