I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

Not being able to read cursive is not being illiterate
Shit, I was taught it and sometimes go "wait what's that letter again"
How hard is it to read it???
If someone cannot read it then yes, that's pretty much the definition of illiterate, especially given the fact that a book has well written cursive
Cursive is almost exclusively used in handwriting when I come across it and the wide variety of ways people were taught to write letters + general handwriting quality issues make cursive a mess to read sometimes at no fault to the reader. Some cursive fonts have absolutely awful keening or too much noise and can be hard to read as well, which is an issue with the font and not the reader again.
I personally write in caps print because I know my handwriting sucks and I actually prioritize readability over fanciness or "not lifting my pen a lot"
Yeah but the thread is about reading books, where cursive is properly printed.
How can you no read cursive? It's just regular letters!
