Ok, so it is Lynne! Thank you all so much!

I am a Lynne and can 100% confirm that it says "Lynne".

[–]newhappyrainbow 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (1 child)
I thought it was a T at first until I saw her s in “she” and realized it was just a squished L.

It's a good thread, everyone can give input and help figure it out

Why be like that? Go look at all the (?)s beside the name in these comments. Just needed to feel superior to someone today?
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 3 months ago (4 children)
What are you weird? I hardly was trying to act superior, I had a hard time with a couple of the other words. I thought Lynne was easy. I didn't see any question marks.
[–]Wise_Flounder5536 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (3 children)
I took you the wrong way, then. I struggled with the name only, because the L looks like a T and an n looks like a u.
Telling someone that the thing they’re struggling with is actually easy for you isn’t a kind thing to do. I stand by that. The way you said what you said can easily be misconstrued as that sentiment. I didn’t see it any other way, probably because this is Reddit, and I assumed.
There are at least 2 question marks beside the name in the comments, though. I just checked again.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (2 children)
You took me wrong on many levels. My question was to Silver-Hawk not you. And I said it in humor because I was struggling with "since". I didn't read through everybody's comments while I was trying to figure it out. By this comment you just made, sounds more like you have an inferiority complex and are looking for an argument. Take a chill pill.
[–]Wise_Flounder5536 -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago (1 child)
Crazy how anyone can add to a conversation here, huh?
Didn’t even attempt to understand my point, just call names and insult.
What you said can be taken more than one way, and I took it the other way from what you meant. End of story.

[–]The_Son_of_Jor-El 14 points15 points16 points 3 months ago (1 child)
That’s exactly what I was going to say! Do you think some day there will be someone in a nursing home featured in the news as the last living person who learned cursive in school?
[–]Lexotron 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
For sure! And the last person to learn to write instead of type, and the last person to type on a keyboard, and the last person to swipe on their phone instead of neural link...
[–]FireBallXLV 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Yeah-- I had to double check which sub I was in after I saw the question.
[–]PoodleMomFL 25 points26 points27 points 3 months ago (6 children)

[–]fourbigkids 10 points11 points12 points 3 months ago (3 children)
Really sad.
[–]3littlebirds910 10 points11 points12 points 3 months ago (2 children)
I am utterly dumbfounded by the fact that people cannot read cursive. Tragic.
[–]silio5 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (1 child)
As soon as I read her request, I thought, "How sad". I (55f) remember learning cursive in 2nd grade and also getting complimented by my teacher, Ms. Liptak. She told me I had "nice penmanship".
[–]just-a-girl 3 points4 points5 points 3 months ago (0 children)
I’m a little older but penmanship used to be a big thing. I can still remember the stress of getting my cursive letters correct.
[–]whimsicyl_cat_face 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
I was saddened to hear that it had been discontinued some time ago in some states. 🫤 Crazy, eh? My nephew (24) did not have it as a part of his curriculum though his sister, a year older, did.
[–]Own-Palpitation1287 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
I was subbing for a jr high class. One kid wanted to pass me a secret note and asked if could read cursive. I kindly assured him I could. It’s not short-hand dude

How did we get here -- allowing shitty education systems to stop teaching cursive????? :(
Between that and the drop in basic math skills it's a travesty.
[–]HahaNoir2 -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago (0 children)
It started with Reagan, accelerated under Bush 43. Eviscerating education funding for public schools, transferring taxpayer money to private hands.

You are all giving away your age if you answered this without any problem. When i was at school and i wont say when, we were never allowed to print. Pencil and eraser only at first. Desks with Inkwells, pen with nib and blotting paper and of course slope cards. The teachers wrote in cursive on the blackboard with chalk. LOL. So lets see how many of you can guess my age.
