When I write I still write cursive, and I have been teaching my daughter cursive which isn't taught in elementary school anymore.

However, I would also argue that very few people can write in calligraphy and that it's mostly dedicated hobbyists and fountain pen enthusiasts who do it. The only people I know who still use calligraphy skills regularly are also the people who own $ 1000 fountain pens.
