Antique Cursive

The queen has decided that cursive is forbidden! Please print or type.

When the queen was in high school, the queen mum made her take "typing." NO said the queen, "I'll never have to type, I'm the queen, I'll have someone do it for me." Well, of course the joke's on the queen! Everyone in the kingdom must now type! From this day forward it shall be called KEYBOARDING. Teaching cursive is a waste of teaching time!

I wonder if teenagers in the Victorian era complained about learning calligraphy? Can you hear them smart-mouthing their mothers: "I'll never use calligraphy, it's so yesterday. All my friends are only taking cursive." Now it's time for cursive to go the way of calligraphy. Weeks are spent teaching cursive instead of keyboarding in elementary schools. Years ago I heard someone on television say "have you ever filled out a job application where it said please use cursive?"

The queen has written!
