I wonder if Tai's note had little hearts on it too.

Probably, since she immediately recognized the letter Marten got as the same invitation she got.

Emily's the best thing to happen to QC in a while.

I'm glad the community likes her as much as Jeph does.

I was worried that the fanbase would revolt, to be honest. Something about the Cloud Cuckoolander role belonging to Hanners or whatever.

They're different kinds of weird, though. Hanners is naive and has a poor understanding of social conventions. Emily just seems to have weird thought processes.

Again, exactly like Osaka.

I don't hate Emily but I don't like her either.

I don't like the use of an overly long gag (banana smoothie) combined with a straight up cloud cuckoolander. Otherwise she is okay with me.

I smell fanservice!

I'm sorry that the Running Gag is not a Running Gag that you like. It's unfortunate when a Running Gag gets repeated that you don't like, because the gag will run several times even though you don't like the Running Gag. It makes you want to run after the person making the Running Gag and gag them. Running Gag.

"I have completely forgotten how to write cursive, and was never particularly good at it anyway" - Sounds like me.

My problem is that I can't stop writing in cursive and I suck at it.

I only ever bother with cursive for signatures, and then it's little more than a series of spikes.

In elementary school, we're taught cursive as primary writing system; or at least, I hope it's still the case.

I was taught cursive in primary.

The problem is that I was terrible at it, so I still use the horrible chickenscratch I can bartely manage. Writing's not one of my strong points.

I don't really try to write in cursive, I just sort of do when I write fast enough. It's not especially legible or regular, though.

I know I was taught cursive in Elementary, and subsequently purged it from my brain as an inefficient and almost unreadable writing style. By blending the words together, and making them all swirly and stuff, which makes them look much more similar to each other than in normal writing, cursive is a bitch to read.

I don't mind it and you really can write much faster when using it if you don't focus too much on getting the form exactly right. Add in the fact that if you drag an ink pen, the letters tend to be connected anyway and most quick pen writing ends up looking a bit like cursive.

We were taught cursive in grade...four, I think. I abandoned it by grade eight.

We weren't allowed to use anything but cursive during primary school and so it became ingrained in me. ;_;

Ouch, dude. That sucks.

What? No, it's the norm. Cursive is much more efficient/faster to write (as long as you don't plan on being read). Detached letters are horribly slow to trace.

Plus, I guess it makes your handwriting harder to forge.

I largely forgot cursive after middle school or so, but retaught myself it after my undergraduate degree (as well as, while I was at it, teaching myself to write almost as fast backwards in cursive). It is indeed faster, although many of the little flourishes the teachers always insisted on including have gone away in the interest of writing faster. I'm also still rubbish at "leaning" the letters properly.

I know how to write cursive, It's just I don't have a consistent style of cursive, plus while it maybe faster to write, that is useless if not even you can read it after.

It's just another one of these rubbish things schools teach us instead of things we really actually need.

I write faster normally than with cursive because I can use shorthand more easily.
