When I worked data entry, there was a chart for cursive as people couldn't understand cursive writing, and these were adults. I think this may check out (not because they're lacking, but because they probably weren't taught).

Yeah but people's cursive is more inconsistent than print. It can be super bad and print is more practical. You could say it's Same with a digital clock but an analog clock is always the same with circle and 2 hands while I don't know what characters people are trying to do with cursive.

I agree that it takes practice, but I wasn't aware (until that job) that most people learned how to write their name only. I had to learn it when I was in 2nd or 3rd, then I kept it up because note taking was faster. But I don't think it's stopping anyone from doing anything unless you're going through hand written docs all the time. Just surprised me at the time.
