Etiquette pet peeves

My grandchildren cannot even read cursive.

You may not even be able to read my cursive handwriting and we were taught cursive in elementary school in the fifties. Those nuns were unforgiving. Of course, being left handed does not help either.

Good hint @JamesG161 , now I got it. We haven’t gotten to the part with the “Bed Bag Wharf”.

My public school education was always behind the times. I was taught how to use a slide rule while calculators were readily available. I was taught cursive and penmanship but not typing. To this day I use maybe four of my ten fingers to type and I look at the keys, not the screen. I was taught how to write a check but not how to invest. When I was an apprentice electrician I was taught vacuum tube operation from old black and white Navy movies shown with an ancient reel to reel movie projector. This was long after transistors had replaced vacuum tubes. Maybe there should be term limits for school teachers, maybe five years or so. FBI is probably still teaching blood type screening, but not DNA screening. Hard to keep up.

And you use sails long after steam engines have been invented.
