Translating weirdly written letter?

Really? Boy I been out of circulation a while….. How’s a person supposed to sign their name?

I know several young people who's signature is their name printed.

 

The mention of it being a foreign language was a joke, but understanding the cursive was not.

For a younger person like me [early 30's], cursive was phased out in school. The only cursive I use today is in my signature.

Fun discussion everyone! It's an interesting observation that cursive is an important skill for researchers. Since I started researching coin albums, it has been difficult to comprehend old letters and documents. I could only read around 30% of the letter in my post. These days I upload a photo to ChatGPT to transcribe. It tends to be pretty accurate.

 

Honestly, I'm disgusted with this transition of education/indoctrination.

I don't want to earn a time out, or worse.

Peace out.

 

WOW!! It’s best if I don’t comment what’s on my mind right now. I will say that apparently things are worse than I thought. WOW!!

 

In case folks are curious, here's how AI transcribed the cursive. Other than mistaking 'missions' with 'pioneers' it's pretty good!

 

I should add that in my senior year, 12th grade, it was the first year that 7th graders were allowed to have calculators in school. My high school was 7 through 12 so yes, I’m getting old but I refuse to act my age.

 

Hmmm...chatGpt color codes things like Insider does. I knew he wasn't human. He certainly doesn't behave or write like a human.

No, no, that's how you mark your territory after you buy a giant company.

 

Apparently you've never read my cursive before. The millennials have a point about my writing, so I print now.

 

Its the electronics! Voice to print is very common in most class rooms if documents are required. When I last taught online last year, Myself and the students used speech , but also the conversations were converted by the link computers to print which could be stored or downloaded by teacher and/or student. I could convert several languages into English and so could they. It was easy for the slower ones to
repeat them to catch any parts they missed. I kept the communication on several discs. About the only cursive I or they really need in life is their signatures., IMO.
I started teaching science in college in 1967 and all then was cursive.Now they use their phone, computer, other electronic device . Jim

 

I'm doubtful that cursive signatures are required for anything at this point. Any signature of import for me in the last 5 years or so has been done via "docsign" or similar, and many signatures are just swirls on a tablet at a store. If anyone wanted to verify the authenticity of anything based on my cursive signature, I can't imagine it holding up in court any differently from my printed name.

 

Marking territory and CoinCorgi....there is the start of a joke....

 

Signatures are how they verify vote-by-mail...they compare to your signature on voter registration rosters. How many are "X"?

 

That is correct! Here are photos of the album and inside contents

I was always getting in trouble for not using cursive. My dad taught me to write the way he was taught. You could not rest your hand on the table. I must have drew a million loops on the old three line paper. When I left school I only used cursive. When I went into the business world I had my own style of cursive writing that I still use today.
I leave out letters and words that are not needed. It was tough for anyone to read my notes. I can write properly but it's rare that I need to. It's too slow for me.

 

That is not a "mistake." It is an intentional substitution for an "idea" that is not palatable to the woke, cancel cultural elements driving "artificial intelligence." They will not allow any thoughts / ideas that are out of sync with their agenda.
