The right will say, “ The left can't meme,” or “none of that is true,” or “ who cares what bunch of military “leaders” say…if they were TRUE leaders, they’d be supporting the greatest president in the history of our nation.”
Is that a news service?
Looking for a link to it.

A few years ago my older brother was giving a lecture at John Hopkins University (he works in the APL and normally doesn't teach). As he was writing notes on the overhead, one of the students interrupted him to say they couldn't understand his writing.

No, you are correct. It was always known as cursive in the States and, reading up on it, it is known as joined-up-writing in the UK. Honestly, I can't remember my mom ever using that phrase, but that may have been one of those "British-isms" that she lost after coming here in the early 60's. It's funny that she no longer spells color as colour or yogurt as yoghurt but after my time living in Scotland I go back and forth.Many people have near-illegible handwriting. It's a long-standing joke that doctors, in particular, write in a way that nobody can ever decipher what they wrote.

What I'm now wondering about is when did "handwriting" or "joined-up-writing" start being called "cursive"? Has it always been called that and it's only now most people have stopped doing it (just read that it's no longer even taught in schools here) that it's being referred to often enough that I've learned the correct name, or have people only recently started calling it that? I swear it was always referred to as "joined-up-writing" when I was young (hence the coinage of metaphorical terms like "joined-up-government")
