Geordie Pordy Puddin’ n’ Pie

SO, if I was feeling old before...

Wife: "You can't write the trivia answers because of your handwriting."

Me: "What the fuck are you talking about my handwriting is great. It's neat, cursive with the occasional restrained flourish from a gorgeous pen filled with gorgeous ink."

Wife: "and that's the problem. The folks running the trivia are in their twenties. They don't ever write by hand or read handwritten words. They read screens and printed pages. They can't read your answers."

It's a bit like analogue watches and clocks ... So many younger people can't read

Hey @geordie

Fellow Old Fart here.

My position is, as long as we continue to require them to read Shakespeare and understand Middle English, it is not unreasonable to also be forcing them to read (and, BTDub, write) cursive.

And as long as I'm on this here soapbox, it wouldn't kill them to spend a few days in school with a slide rule.
