When I was in the military (68-76), there was no email or internet. The only printed communications I had for work were teletype machines as part of my job. So, most of my personal communications were via cursive letter. I guess that’s where I got my post high school practice.
We overlapped our service a few years...:)
Honestly, I am loathe to send emails for anything other than communications needed for specific purposes.
I can’t bring myself to write them for any kind of special occasion (Birthday, anniversary, whatever)
I have to write a card and snail-mail it...then again, I am someone who decries the clothes people wear to church, funerals, and dinners at fancy restaurants, meaning I cling to tradition.
At work the other day (I work at a hospital) they handed out Santa hats to anyone who wanted one (it was kind of a fun thing) so I took one and wore it around.
I have to say...I was uncomfortable, but not for the reason you think. I am someone who takes a hat off when I go indoors, especially when in a hospital (In the Navy, you always had to uncover if you went inside, specifically in a hospital) so I always do it if I go to a restaurant or any other indoor function.
While I had the hat on, I had a nagging feeling I was breaking a rule, and it became so distracting to me I had to remove it...:)
Teletype machines printed in cursive? Not the ones I saw.
