    Americans why are they like this?

    Faster and easier than copying a typeface.

      Oh no, this clock has hands, how am I supposed to know what time it is? Why can’t it just display the time?

      Ok… 21:35

      Wait, not like that!

      A great deal of our education system is intended to coerce us into acting a certain way. We are rushed the cursive and told as children that its useless because we can’t use it on essays in school.

      We are taught languages slowly, rote, and in a very boring way so that we learn a lot but never become fluent.

      Most of all, we are taught that math is highly abstract and useless, because math is one skill that can raise someone working class to being worth a very high wage.

          No essays must be written in print. Not cursive and that’s just standard across academia.

          It’s really weird they bring it up, because they teach you how to write in a way that they don’t actually want you to write. In the past I suppose you were expected to write like that if you were doing anything formal (letters to the bank manager) but since no one does that anymore it’s a bit of a moot point.

          Nope, it.won’t be accepted unless your teacher was very old. You either handwrite in print or for the most part these days submit a printed out or digitally submitted copy
