      • I'm still surprised you didn't die of frostbite with your shorts and sandals in the snow.

          I assume you're not familiar with the challenges of heating large buildings with large windows in a Canadian winter.

          Kids sitting next to those windows probably wouldn't appreciate the coldness.

            • I guess you've never done any training in Cold Lake, AB.

              Or been stationed in Alert.

                • They should be teaching Dragon Naturally Speaking or other voice recognition software. Writing by hand or keyboard is for noobs and programmers and perhaps people who don't want their text box to close when they're talking about how Aragon was ripping off Legolas' clothes for their new erotic fan fic post. (...but imagine how much better off the world will be if they did use it!)

                  • Shorthand is faster than cursive, teach everyone shorthand!

                    Give everyone a stenograph machine!

                    ACK!
                    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                    • Cursive is tiresome. Apart from "looking good" it serves no useful purpose. Handwriting should of course be taught but cursive has always been a pointless accompaniment--even before the introduction of typing and computers.
                      "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

                          Actually, that sounds like a blast.

                          • I have only used cursive, in the 20ish years since I learned it, to sign my own name.

                                How come we have large windows in Russian schools?

                                Here we are taught to write in legible cursive. If you submit an illegible paper, you just get an F.
