How many social situations do you get into where cursive is relevant? Wedding table cards? Pretty sure even people not taught cursive can get the gist since most letters are pretty close to print.
Yeah… it’s going to be hard to convince me that a literate person is going to be unable to discern a menu because it’s in cursive and they only know print. I’ve been able to get the gist of menus in different languages just from a common Latin base.
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.

Menus
Yeah… it’s going to be hard to convince me that a literate person is going to be unable to discern a menu because it’s in cursive and they only know print. I’ve been able to get the gist of menus in different languages just from a common Latin base.
Also, the idea of using a method of writing meant to make writing faster in a printed menu is ridiculous. Pure wankery.

Pretty sure Americans just call that cursive. Where I’m from cursive is just this, so it used to confuse me too.
I don’t remember when I saw a menu that wasn’t print
I’d just leave if the menu was in cursive.
