I was linked to another article on the much-commented-upon Death of Cursive Instruction at the NYTimes. Not much new there, but I may run through the comments and laugh at them all soon. (Or maybe not. There's a shocking number of "Eh, who needs it?" there and surprisingly few "OMG! DEATH OF ENGLISH!!!")

But what a coincidence, here's what I saw on Not Always Right today:

Me: “Thank you, sir. Now, if you could just sign your name on the line, and then write it regular on the line below…”

Printing = regular writing. I admit, even I am a bit surprised at this phrasing.
