The case for cursive

This comment, left on a nytimes.com article about whether or not writing in cursive is still a relevant skill, gave me a good chuckle:

Personally, I feel that cursive writing (as well as penmanship in general) should be preserved. But much like canning your own vegetables or making bread from scratch, I expect it will be a tradition only carried on by those who find it genuinely interesting - those who wish to preserve the lost arts, if you will.
