    Or…people can stop being catered too because they are uneducated. I’m sick of things being dumbed down to suit the lowest common denominator.

      One could argue that expecting everyone to “cater to” you by learning your preferred writing system shows the most entitlement.

      They can make the book covers however they want to, but they can’t force anybody to pick up their book.

        Oh yes. The horrifying and terrorific oppression of…writing while lifting the pen less often.

          Writing by hand is an outdated system in general, the only times I write by hand, it needs to be print writing anyway.

          There is absolutely no need for me to write in cursive, and the time investment to learn would never pay itself back.

            Because everything needs to have ROI. Else it isn’t worth doing. Trigger warning for you, the next information might be too shocking and disturbing. Some people write by hand just for fun. I know, the horror.

                Yeah, fuck art! I say we haven’t banned enough books. Who needs to read fictional tales. Acquiring perspective and experience on a wide array of human endeavors is for woke pussys. Writing cursive is gay.

        Blame phones. Again, catering to the lowest in terms of function

      Normally I’m totally on the side of the younger generations as I see how tough things have been made for them- this however, I have no sympathy for.

        Why should they be forced to learn an idiotic, outdated system of writing, so they can communicate with a bunch of stubborn boomers?

        My 80-something grandmother went from writing a letter in cursive to us to simply messaging us on Facebook, she found it so much easier. What’s your excuse?
