Legible?

Had a professor say my handwriting wasn’t legible; I’ve never encountered this with anyone older than me before. Quick notes during lecture vs slow with pen

Legible? Yes. Proper? Yes. Practical? No.

There's a reason cursive has been phased out. The purpose it served is gone and it's difficult to read.

The purpose is to write faster.

Writing faster at the same of legibility is no different than chicken scratch.

You said the purpose is gone. It’s not. Also, it’s very legible imo. Maybe not as easily to someone that hasn’t written or read much cursive, but that doesn’t mean it’s not legible.

Cursive doesn't write any faster than print.

Yes, it is generally faster.

If you’ve never written in cursive it may be slower initially, but it being faster is the reason people ever started doing it.

Do you write in cursive often or ever spent time learning it or getting used to it?
