    In are first year in the 90s we were taught block letters - plain text. In our second year we were taught what England would call “fancy”, only we were taught it as if it were a different language to plain text, named cursive, which is really only used for signing your name on checks. In the 00s this switched to typing, so no one after the 90s learned how to read it.

        What about when they want to read an old letter from a relative, study notes from a senior, archive document, manuscript of work of literature they love or a fancy font ?
