The death of cursive →
I had a similar experience in my high school’s Ohio Senior Proficiency Test. We had to copy an “honor statement” in cursive, and everyone was whispering around the room, “How do you make a capital J? Hey, anyone remember how to make an S?” I went to Catholic school until middle school, and cursive was mandatory for all assignments after 2nd grade. Now, I never use it, and would need to think about each letter as I wrote it. (thanks azspot)
