I like this 'my handwriting is write only'.

when i was 18, i looked at notes from my new coworker / manager and asked him how he learned to write that nice. He told me that he struggled writing cursive and just started writing letter by letter (print letter style?).

I changed my 'font' on that day and suddenly i was at least able to read what i wrote!

Interesting.

We grew up learning to write separate letters.

Cursive was taught only very briefly as a way of telling us tgis also exists but don't bother too much about it.

Nevertheless, cursive is where the speed is. University times I was writing at the speed of the professor chatting and still having it halfway readable even for others - even though the looks of it were tending to the Arabic (I'm Latin). Good times, now I can barely scratch a shopping list before I break my wrist.
