Rant title: The handwriting skill or lack thereof among today's youth....

I consistently deal with forms that are handwritten and I find that a great deal many of today's youth have simply no idea of how to write in a legible manner. In fact I will go as far as to say that some of it is downright atrocious to the point where I have to confirm details before they can be entered into the system. Sixteen year olds have the handwriting capabilities of a six year old for God's sake! How are they ever going to be able to communicate effectively using written language if they are unable to type what they want to say?

And signatures! Oh my God! One signature was signed simply using the first name only as though they were some world famous rockstar known to all and sundry. Another simply used their initials. I thought to myself what do you parents say then I looked at the parents signature; it was their initials!!! I was gobsmacked! Pretty soon we'll be back to the pirate days where you simply made your mark..... Sign Here: X

GET OFF THE TABLETS AND PHONES YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!!!!

End of rant.

End of rant, mojohand!

I see and do it myself, sign off like the above on HC.
The demise of handwriting skills may possibly be offset by the increasing level of reading skills.

I seem to remember that the big worry about the computer generation was going to be the decline in reading skills, this hasn’t eventuated as the boneheads need this skill to open and play their games.

What are the forms for that these Philistines are butchering?
University or Dole application, perhaps?
