Mum was moaning about this last night reminiscing about the good old days when the act of writing actually involved writing instead of whatever the kids duct taping emotes, memes & comic sans to some predictive text via a spellcheck on the socials for points clusterfuck is going on these days.
A friend had had the gall to send a birthday card that had rather clearly been ordered online and shat out of a production line with fake handwriting...the ultimate insult.
I couldn't believe that was a service that actually existed when I first got one.
Like, as if buying a greeting card weren't already the bare minimum someone could do, let's find a way to put even less care and effort into it.
I generally dislike greeting cards. My wife and I have decided not to exchange them anymore (birthdays/valentines/anniversary). Her brother and sister have a cool tradition though, they get each other the wrong greeting card for each other's birthday. Last year my SIL got a bris card, and my BIL got a quinceñara card.
My wife and I have been having our kids just make cards for occasions, sometimes recycling parts from old cards, but mostly just don't do any cards anymore.
that sounds fun
My birthday was just over a week ago. My mother sent a hand written note, in cursive. It took a good 30 seconds to remember how to read cursive...
I'm reading a 3 A4 pages from my 12yr old at the moment, the mid point of his current post-apocalyptic world building wants feedback.
It's 95%+ early years test compliant script, but cool to see the words come alive on occasion and become art that goes beyond what fonts can manage.
