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

Also, the idea of using a method of writing meant to make writing faster in a printed menu is ridiculous. Pure wankery.

I'm from the UK, I don't think I've ever heard people talk about cursive writing at all. When I was in primary we learnt joined up writing which I don't thinks the same. I have never seen a menu in NI that wasn't typed and printed and the UK doesn't even have a written constitution either.

Pretty sure Americans just call that cursive. Where I'm from cursive is just this, so it used to confuse me too.
