There are some cursive lovers:

The cursive question has been bugging me for some time now as I am another who has lost all ability to write in cursive (age 33). I am of the other opinion that it is not irrelevant. I have been wanting to relearn for a couple reasons; Block letters look childish, and handwritten letters make the greatest impact. I have been doing a great deal of genealogical research lately and all of the old time legal documents are hand written and the handwriting style is unique to each author, a pleasantry in that you can almost see your relatives sitting at the desk writing this or that. It is a shame that it is dying and being replaced with text messaging which is completely outside the realm of both grammar and style.
