       SO, if I was feeling old before...Wife: "You can't write the trivia answers because of your handwriting."Me: "What the fuck are you talking about my handwriting is great. It's neat, cursive with the occasional restrained flourish from a gorgeous pen filled with gorgeous ink."Wife: "and that's the problem. The folks running the trivia are in their twenties. They don't ever write by hand or read handwritten words. They read screens and printed pages. They can't read your answers."

       @geordie It's a bit like analogue watches and clocks ... So many younger people can't read Hugz & xXx

       @geordie I use a nice fountain pen at work, and have been genuinely surprised by the number of people who don’t know how it works when they ask for a pen to sign something.So I’ve taken to carrying a crappy biro as well.

       @geordie Jeebus, a cold wind of old age suddenly flew by. . . (And why yes, I do have great handwriting.)

       @geordie Cruel, but fair.I'm a boomer, learned modern cursive, and prefer reading screens and print over any handwriting, no matter how neat.It's just easier to read. 🤷
