random poll

[rm]

Super busy. Am suddenly curious about this. Apparently most kids entering college in the US this year don't know how to write in cursive. I suspect this is less a sign of the apocalypse than it feels like to me.

So, tell me things (as usual, poll is un-scientific and reflects my biases and experiences (and 49-year-olds can choose which age category they like better!) -- if the boxes don't work, my apologies and comments super welcome.):

It makes a big difference. I wasn't ever taught typing at school because of the unspoken assumption that we were meant to be being trained up for a life above secretarial work, for example. I rather wish I had been; although conversely I am very glad to have been taught Latin and Greek.
