Although I don't write cursive pretty much ever anymore, I still find it nice to know. It's really kind of like art and written anything is just special really when I think about it. I think it's a very personal expression when used in a something like a handwritten letter. An email or typed letter (even in hardcopy) just isn't the same. The content and words may be exactly the same, but cursive is so expressive it doesn't compare.
