    Unironically, while cursive is not very useful in the modern day and I always hated both using and reading it, calligraphy is a beautiful and largely lost art in the general population.

      I once asked a teacher why did we learn to write with cursive and he said that it was to help us differentiate between words. I don’t know if that is true but I though his answer interesting.

      I tried calligraphy once… It would be a skill that would take me FOREVER to become decent at. Suck at it.
