Q: Why does an engineer like having a wife and a girlfriend?
A: Because each woman assumes he is with the other. This leaves him completely free to go back to the office, lab, or workshop to get actual work done in peace

Exactly. I have no problem with this one. In fact, that guy could be me except I usually don't wear skirts above the knee. He's a guy in the men's room where he belongs.
Two outta three ain't bad. Nobody can read my cursive, and I mean NOBODY. Good riddance.
He said of course it’s the camouflage color crayon! He was probably the one sent after the black and yellow safety paint.
Exactly, I don’t see what the obsession about cursive is? Exactly what does it add to…well, anything?
Back in the 1900s when I was in engineering graphics 101 we spent weeks learning how to print properly.

I don’t do cold pizza and not a fan of energy drinks. Plus all the engineers work for me now.
Ahhh so you're the keeper of the nerd cage!!! Got it!!!
Yep, I buy the pizza.
I can still print very neatly if I put my mind to it. Cursive has always been the bane of my existence - I learned how to type the summer between 4th and 5th grade and never looked back. I always got Ds in penmanship, my parents even made me practice every damn day between 5th and 6th grades, which did exactly nothing to improve the mess. Most likely because I didn't see the point in it, so why bother?
Mine had my three put down. No reason other than spite. That kind of evil still fucks me up 8 years later.
why cursive? it doesn't require a computer, notepad, or phooone. you don't need batteries, bluetooth or wifi. it is much faster than printing.
when i was 8 or 9, Sr. Mary Applesauce told me that my brain controlled my hand and to use my brain! she reinforced this directive as required. Also, cursive is like mature people code; no one else can read it.
Printing doesn't take a computer or a PHOOOOOONNE either - nor does typing for that matter. I've heard all my life how cursive is "faster" than printing. Not really - or at least not really with me. It doesn't matter what speed I write cursive at, its still illegible - as is most people's. At least I can print something someone else can read - granted, if I print fast, its a horrid mess just like my cursive is, but its still more legible albeit not by much. If I slow down, I can print quite well, in both English and Greek - my cursive is horrid regardless!
With all that said, I much prefer to type over any hand cribbing of any sort. I get really pissed off at doctor's offices who want me to "update" things by hand cribbing the same crap as what they already have. Either set me in front of a computer - like my dentist does, thank Goddess - or give me a printout of what you have and I'll red line it. I'm *NOT* going to hand crib it all over again for no good reason.
Zorba, I agree with your comments re typing. I learned to touch-type freshman yr of HS. Over the years I have owned several typewriters, both manual and Selectric. I actually enjoy typing.
I looked on line for manual typewriter ribbons. Office Dep had one, but it's out of stock, Staples listed none. I also looked for a refurb Royal manual typewriter- $400. I think most people won't pay that.
Which brings us back to the wooden pencil (12 for $3) and plain paper.
No arguement intended or desired. If you want to print, go for it. I'll keep writing in code!
BTW, I still have my turntable, amp, and speakers. I play my 'old' records all the time.
