      I’m an English speaker (mother tounge), I can read cursive. That is atrocious hand writing. I say this as a person with terrible hand writing.

      Many people can not, it’s not taught like it used to be. This however is a mix of sloppy cursive and simply not lifting the pen. Also the case of some letters are shifted. While I read the message correctly, it didn’t have context until reading other comments and I wasn’t sure I had it correct .

      I am an even older fart, and I TAUGHT cursive. The only “cursive” here is the angry scrawl of someone who’d prefer to be cursing.

      Look, for example, at the word immediately after HOLY MONTH. The closest correct cursive letters to fit the scrawl are:

      “itreit”.

      It’s only by context, and allowing for the angry misplacement of the tittle, that we can read it as “that.”
