Do actual people read the address or is it scanned electronically? I have no idea. Given the volume I’d think it’s the latter. But again, no clue. I agree they have literacy issues sometimes, based on the mail I get in my box for other addresses lol. |

Unless you have immaculate hand writhing I'd say anything hand written is a risk with cursive being the worst. My daughter is learning cursive this year, she's in the 3rd grade. At my kids school they stopped for a couple years. Quite a few parents (including my wife) got all up in arms over it and they started it back up again. This a private school. |
| Mail delivery is such a shit show these days that I don't risk using cursive. The younger generation was never taught it, and there are plenty of older retards who were taught it, but still can't read it. I print addresses in the most deliberate, plain block text that I can manage for the lowest common denominator to understand. |

If they are not misdelivering the mail they are stealing it. |
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Seriously...almost every week I get someone's chicken scratch that the mail guy, who probably can't even read cursive, threw in my mailbox. I don't really care about the whole cursive/not cursive debate. I use both as the mood strikes What fascinates me, however, is that every week you receive personalized mail. I feel pretty confident in saying I haven't received a non junk-mail letter in a decade. All email, phone, or text |
