Probably the reason I don't like cursive is that I am essentially word-blind. It takes me a long time to read a book. I sort of work around it.

OK just did mine with a sharpie. That just seemed a little better than just a ball point pen:

I could never understand the cursive capital 'G'. It doesn't look anything like any other 'G'. It looks almost like a person sitting on a toilet.


Basically, instead of having the big loop we associate with the letter G, it has a line coming up from the baseline that joins where that loop would be toward the bottom. Presumably, it's easier to write quickly since your pen usually starts near the baseline with cursive.

What made this click in my head was actually the signature of one George M. Humphrey, Secretary of the Treasury under Eisenhower:


His G is a kind of midway point between a print G and a cursive G.
