It is "folklore" that continuous curves in contact 3 manifolds can be approximated by Legendrian curves and it seems that this follows from Gromov's $h$-principle for Legendrian immersions (in arbitrary dimensions). Since reading Gromov is a challenge (at least for me) I wonder if anybody has readable reference for this statement (preferably in any dimension) or at least for the case of approximating curves in 3 manifolds.
