And it’s called the dog watch because it is…curtailed

Interesting. When I started I went from printing with a fountain pen to cursive with a fountain pen finally to cursive with ballpoint. I think the removal of penmanship from school is what’s doing it. My kids can barely read cursive - because they had it for like 20 minutes in third grade.

Although I’ve seen an oenophile or two behave like an 11 year old where wine is concerned.

You’re not kidding - just try and buy an HP calculator these days.
