This is an age when writing technology is so advanced that a pen will do everything except honk when it spreads ink across a shirt pocket. There are instant, nonclotting gel inks that dry before you dot your i's. Tips that accommodate the most teensy, crabbed handwriting. Markers that write on any surface, animal, mineral or vegetable. And pens with huge grips to ease the tender wrists of the overcomputered.
Nobody writes legibly anymore, but the letters sure look bold and indelible.
My daughter writes on a legible hand rather than in a legible hand. And it won't come off even when she's sweating the answers. It used to be considered extreme cheapness or misguided antiquarianism to own a car for a decade. Now, it's almost the norm. Why, now I'm nearly normal.
