My bride volunteers to teach high school and younger students cursive writing.

She says they think it’s like a secret language.

Our schools teach cursive.  They stopped for a year or two when my son was in elementary school, but then restarted.

No, I typed them in large font in Word.  I know, pathetic.  Kids can’t read cursive anymore. 

Times change.  It’s hard enough for me to read the kind of cursive my grandfather wrote just 100 years ago.  And it’s not that different from what I was taught.  I imagine our descendants 100 years in the future will be completely unable to decipher an ordinary cursive letter we wrote.

Tell me about it. I asked my gf's friends if they had to learn cursive (we called it "writing" when I was young) in school and they said that was only done in creative writing courses.  ::)

You mean like written words on paper in cursive?

Do they even know what to do with them?

😜

I agree, we don’t put sensitive stuff in there anymore. We drive it to the post office.  These were just letters to the grandchildren.

anyway, with some the scammers grabbing mail out of mailboxes (home and even the USPS boxes), it's probably better to not rely on the mailman to take the mail out of your mailbox.

Geez, I have to resort to Google.  I'm deeply disappointed that Duckduckgo is basically a skin of MS Bing.
