Printing? No.

Cursive? Yes.

This is probably a better argument than my original comment (and much simpler!)

I actually can't write cursive at all, but I can usually read it fine. This is because I went to school when they stopped teaching cursive.

But alas, an article entitled "I used to know how to write in cursive" probably won't be very interesting to HN readers...

The reverse almost happened to me before, I write almost exclusively in cursive and once or twice had to stop and think about what a capital Q was supposed to look like.
