I can barely sign my name in cursive let alone write with it, though I can read it if I have to. But to be fair even when I'm printing my handwriting is so horrible my Dr. makes fun of it.
I remember when i was still in school my philosophy teacher said asked why i don't write in cursive since its faster, but then when he saw how quickly i can write in block letters, he was shocked and never asked me to change my style again...
Not to mention, when i did used to write cursive, my teachers always complained my writing was so small, they needed a microscope to read my essays...
-EDIT-
I think the list: Top 10 Things Today's Kids Will Never Experience was a good read too...
