I have just tried to write cursive for the first time in months, and realized I have to stop and think about how to write some letters.  I remember reading that it’s a dying skill anyway, with keyboarding being taught instead, but it’s a little odd to realize that a skill that used to be automatic takes thought, and even then it doesn’t always work.  I don’t think I even write checks using cursive, it’s all print.  How weird.
