Exactly this. The last time I used cursive was 3rd grade when I learned it. When I was in college, the admin were appalled that I couldn't read their handwriting. I'd have to take these cursive notes to other older adults to narrate for me. It turns out no one my age could read cursive, despite all of us being perfectly literate.

That's hard to believe. Only five out of the twenty-six letters have different lowercase representations than their print versions.

Does this not include handwriting as well?
