People don’t write poorly because they are lazy or because of other character flaws. This is internalized abuse from educators and parents.
I was thinking they’re just in a rush (well, most of the time), but I’d imagine they think it is a lot more legible than it is or will even think that the problem isn’t their sloppiness but “they don’t teach cursive these days!”
I mean yeah it probably doesn’t help that cursive is thought of as efficient and high-class, plus that it’s required for document signage.
