Be that as it may, you know how to do it if needed. damookster Send a noteboard - 18/09/2017 08:47:15 PM

Another example. I was discussing this article with a coworker who, like me, is the parent of Gen X children. She is a letter writer and often exchanges letters with friends and family. She noticed that the letters she was receiving often had the her last name and address printed on the
back of the envelope in handwriting that didn't match that of the sender. So, she asked her letter carrier about it. Her carrier, a Millennial, told her he printed the address on the back. After he first got one of the older postal employees to read the original for him. Why?

Because all these letters were addressed in cursive, not printed. Cursive is no longer taught in schools. He can't read it. So he and the other letter carriers his age ask for help reading the addresses and print the "translation."
