    If you’re writing research papers, obviously you don’t really write them anymore you type them, but back when you did write them, that was the requirement, printed not cursive and yeah that was the requirement in the UK as well It was an international standard.

      Academia at that level sure, it was never a requirement for my GCSE coursework 20odd yrs ago though.

      And the reality is that formal research papers have been typed as long as typewriters existed, before the curriculum was even set.
