It looks like gibberish. 'nuff said.

Seriously, how are people expected to read it? The only acceptable time to use cursive is for your signature, since it's suppose to be unique.

    I am sick of people telling me that they can't read my cursive. And I got better since I wrote that.

    There's no cursive font on this forum, so here's some Comic Sans.

    See entire thread about Cursive already.

    Also cursive is cool.

    You know what really irritates me is that my elementary school made us learn cursive with the justification that college professors will throw out your work if it wasn't in cursive. Which turned out to be complete horseshit.

    The only two years I was required to use cursive were fifth and seventh grade. But I got too used to it and my printing looks like absolute shit now.

    ^^^^^ That's just about bad handwritting.

    Which I suppose is what cursive is, by default.

    Also, why do 90% of teachers use their crappy cursive to grade papers?

    Cursive is perfectly legible if the reader has average intelligence and the writer knows what the fuck they're doing.

    Hieroglyphs make more sense then cursive.

    Same here.

    Hell, a majority of my teachers don't even accept handwritten work of any kind.

    It could be the scan quality.

    I wrote it bigger this time.

    And no, I don't care if you people know what I look like.

    Hangul is not hieroglyphic at all. It's an alphabet, unlike Kanji, which is more hieroglyphic.

    You should know this.

    You deal with Japanese that much?

    I would expect you to deal with Korean much more.

    I don't deal with Korean much because I don't need to use it very much given how little I need to speak it and I like almost never read it anymore because of all these japanese and english subtitles in menus at restaurants and stuff.

    I mean goddamn I use more gratuitous English in Korean than Japanese as fill ins for what the hell I don't know. Though i'm more familiar with spoken Japanese. I can't even type Korean without using a keyboard with korean letter thingys on em like this:

    Also for some reason I always have trouble with the consonant clusters.
