When was the last time you wrote something longer in cursive?

I am trying to write something in cursive that isn't my name for the first time since I was like in fourth grade and it is killing my hand for some reason. It isn't even that long, lol, but the hardest part is making it legible, so I am having to make a few practice attempts like a retard.
 
I think I was in grade 7 or 8 when I stopped using the cursive they taught in earlier grades for my assignments and started writing with my own style of handwriting that came a bit more naturally. Probably still technically cursive in some sense because some of the letters still connect.
 
tbh I can't think of anything since high school
fuck cursive, I don't even do checks in that bullshit
you'd literally need to put a gun to my head to make me do that crap
 
The last time? What do you "the last time"?
Like 10 minutes ago, I only write in cursive, like everyone around me.
Classic americans.
I haven't had to really use it since I was a kid because that's what keyboards are for. I make notes very, very short and in print mainly if I have to use pen and paper. It generally is just enough so I can remind me of what I needed to be reminded of and no more. Maybe if I think on it, the last time I seriously used it was when I was around 20 and kept a short travel diary. But I am not even sure exactly how much I even used it then, tbh.

Over Christmas, my ex and kid got some cards from Europoor relatives and they were damn near illegible in the cursive they wrote. Ex is a Eurocuck himself and he couldn't figure some of it out and it was in his native language.

I don't even do checks in that bullshit
I think the last time I wrote a check was 3 years ago. I don't even have any atm. I don't want to really order any either because I probably only need like 10 for the next 5 years or something, if that.

No point in writing others in cursive though if only you can read what you wrote. I'm trying to do it in my third language, so it is pretty important the other person can read it without difficulty. I could just slap down some cursive, fine, but if I only can figure out what I wrote (see what I said about the cards from the Europoors above), what is the point?

Sorry, but this is very amerimutt. For my whole life I only encountered 2-3 times cursives that I couldn't reliably read and 2 out of 3 were written by barely literate monkey migrants.

I write my diary in cursive to stay in practice; if it makes it unintelligible to anyone younger than me who isn't big on genealogy, that's a bonus.

Day to day, my handwriting is a bastardized fluctuation between cursive and print, and it won't always be the same letters that are one way or the other. Cursive is for writing quickly, print is more legible, upper-case cursive Gs are awful and I avoid them, lower-case Fs are almost always cursive-style because they're nice.

Entries into the legal record I usually print, followed by cursive signature with credentials in SMALL BLOCK CAPITAL.

Having written this out I sound insane, but I think a lot of people write this way.
