Yes, a very interesting article; good for the French!

I'm biased of course (otherwise I wouldn't be here I suppose) but I agree that abandonment of teaching of cursive writing would be a major error. One clue that occurs to me is the laughable - or rather tragic - 'English' that one sees from time to time in eBay listings!
