Cursive is still the main form of writing in Europe, haven't seen many people writing in print/block.

For the longest time I was confused when seeing Americans talk about cursive, because I thought they meant italic print. What they call cursive is just handwriting to me.

Really shows you how US-centric many platforms are, I like seeing other cultures having very different things they deem "normal".
