Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for May 07, 2022

No, they’re just drunk.

Oh, I love this! So trippy.

Flying fonts.

No, they are following the Script.

No, they’re just old geesers.

the one in front just had realised that they flew in the wrong direction and reversed.

Probably Texting while flying

My uncle would point out that in these formations, one line of the V is always longer than the other, then ask if you knew why. He then answer with a straight face, “Because there are more geese in that line.” (It’s another version of the chicken crossing the road.

This old-timer was docked by 3 out of 380 eBay customers last year for communication because I enclosed a thank you note written in cursive.

I hear it’s no longer taught. Use it as a secret code.

Don’t even get me started about not teaching cursive anymore! Lamebrains!

If anyone has ‘Nextdoor’, it’s for local neighborhoods to spill their guts and sell stuff. I recently read where one woman was looking for someone to teach her 17 year old to write cursive. I’m still just shaking my head.

I’ll believe it wren I see it.

LOL!!!

What about the flock that flies in Comic Sans?

..or are they forming a flying uterus’s to protest the SCOTUS “leaked” manifesto.

I can write three words in cursive. My first, middle and last names. And you would probably have an easier time to read ancient Sumerian than my cursive.

Sometimes I worry about the letters and cards I send through the USPS since I always address them in cursive. With fewer people able to read cursive, is the USPS going to ban letters written in cursive?

I learned cursive to an extent, but never ended up using it. Only recently did I end up developing what resembles cursive by writing things down as fast as possible when necessary.

I’m not even 40 and they call me an old-timer. Then again, I would be improbably old for a goose.

Mostly, I use cursive for signatures and notes to myself. It may have saved time overall in my life, but I understand that young people today would likely spend more time learning it than they’d save by using it.

Having fluently cursived at one point, I can’t say I understand why so many people are upset that it’s disappearing. In a world where the most efficient forms of documentation are becoming typing or even verbal dictation, the extra time spent learning a different manual writing system has been a net negative to time I could spend learning something I use.

I’ve been working for the state library transcribing historical documents from cursive so researchers can read them. I can write in cursive a lot faster than I can keyboard, and I get the letters in the right order the first time around. If my pen breaks down I go get another one, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. And, thank goodness, engineers don’t make changes in cursive so you have to relearn it.
