Yeah, its becoming a lost art for sure. I can't believe that the VERMIN put in charge of school curriculum decided to discontinue teaching it. Now some of the future wizards will not be able to read or write their incantations properly.

To write cursive properly attention to detail is very important. If you don't drop the cursive "f" below the line it can look an awful lot like a cursive "b" and if your not careful cursive "r"s can look a lot like "n"s. Perhaps its a blessing that it is going away ... but perhaps not..........

If you look closely you will see Scotch tape lines holding things in place. I don't have Photoshop so you only have to be cautious if you see tape lines on the reels in my photos.
