Recent research (JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH, May/June 1998) shows that the fastest and most legible handwriters don't adhere to cursive expectations.

I took a pencil and tried to fill an entrire A4 size page with text. It is painful. My hand hurts. I normally jot down points on a notepad but not long texts. My handwriting looks encrypted under normal circumstances. If I try to write faster and for a long period of time might just create a new encryption standard.....
