YIKES!

Well I find this to be an abomination, so shan't EVER use it and shall think poorly of those who do.

Sadly good English grammar, and extensive vocabulary, and now NOT using proper punctuation is what results in the complete dumbing down of people and a culture! And don't get me started on the fact that script is not taught well, if at all, today. :-(

I tHink my gen was probably about the last to learn cursive . Kids today cant even tell time using analogue clocks anymore. Thankfully my sister pulled her kids from public schools and thry learned from Abeka home schooling, so they got a good education, and learned all the “old-timey” lessons that we all used to learn.

When i say i learned the hyphen use early in life, i didnt uxe it in school- just for,informal writing, which back then was paper and pen, not keyboards and cell phones. So g,ad i grew up without all thr electronic garbage of today! We got pur entertainment outside, in the neighborhood, being active rambunctious kids- life rrally was a lot better in those days. Healthier too.
