The Write Stuff 0
Betsy Biesenbach does not regret the disappearance of “cursive.” A nugget:
Unfortunately, neither can I.
Afterthought:
When I was in first and second grades, printing was called “printing” and what today is called “cursive” was called simply “writing” and was just what literate persons did.* I wonder what effect giving “writing” a special fancy-sounding name has had in turning it into something mysterious and foreign.
