but I at least have to *read* cursive every day
in a normal modern country
Is this a black thing again?
the best way to learn to read cursive is to learn to write it lol.
not my public school 🤔 was quite a bit back though
Honestly, Im surprised at the amount of people who can't read cursive
I like cursive. I don't wanna lose it. ;-;
plenty of more useful things to learn
Are they removing it because black people have more trouble with it?
@Unwound basically every public school here since the '70s has taught typing.
oh wow, good tbh.
cursive is a more basic skill than touch typing though
Maybe if they remove cursive, they can add anal sex morality 101 to their curriculum
and I know that I learned to touch type for real only when I actually tried
I had to pop in that mavis beacon cd into my windows xp machine and just type out that shit and get gud
when they tried to teach me in school, it was a disaster
well
I learned how to type neckbearding mmorpgs as a teenager
lol
very very few people follow the touch typing skills as they should be used
I heard on Colin Flaherty's channel that there was some affirmative action reason for them removing it or something.
I mean I learned typing from selling shit on runescape back in the day. hard to break old habbits 😉
100%
old school rpgs are the real typing class
@Unwound my mother was trained classically in touch typing, but she absolutely _smacks_ the keys
and her form is terrible
speed is OK though
man I NEVER use my left pinky
Maybe because she used a typewriter.
I use my pinkie for ctrl
thats it lol
lol but why though
doesnt count lol
Anyway
the way I learned to touch type was by
a) being bored
and b) switching my keyboard to dvorak and forcing myself to use the correct motions
Consciously trying to type using my pinkie is so strange
s u c c
I'm pretty good at it now, much easier than other typing by a large margin
halo 1 shit-talking right when u kill someone
lol
