Yes I can write, but it's taken work over time.

Childhood - crap of course. It was the '80s and "keyboarding" was getting big.
College - engineering school, clear drafting printing and all that
15y of work - slowly degrading drafting printing

Then for some stupid reason a colleague got me into fountain pens. Eventually got into custom nibs and the whole deal. I forced myself to step back and learn cursive. No, it wouldn't satisfy old Mrs. Thompson in 1985, but I can write a page of it, quickly, and hand it to a >40 year old and they can read it easily. Younguns think it's some strange code though...

It was worth the mental exercise to re-develop the skill. Other than at my desk, I work in a non-electronics environment so written notes are everything. No paper - it didn't get written down. Not written down - it didn't happen.
