I remember in high school I tried to write a letter to my older brother in California. I had forgotten how to write in cursive - too much hand-lettering on my computer printouts etc. So I just hand-lettered the letter.

Today (decades later) I use cursive exclusively for signing things. And that's a mess.

Same here. My wrist hurt when initialing and signing a long contract recently, and the notary said it's a common experience.

How often do you handwrite?

Almost never. Maybe a note in a notebook, and I hand-letter.
