Hello everyone.
I'm wondering whether actually being able to write Japanese by hand is something of even remotely dramatic interest for me, a person studying Japanese. I can write Japanese by IME, I know all the kana characters in today's use and of course I'm developing my kanji abilities, but I get slightly amnesic when I attempt to write them by hand.
Of course I understand that handwriting might be of use/ be necessary when you find yourself, let's say, writing a letter, writing a form, taking a test, or even in some cases writing a CV, but since I gather that most of the written Japanese is carried out by computer I'm wondering whether I should practice the stroke order and such (of characters, as I said, I already recognize) at all.
