Now they can’t read cursive

Fortunately, they don’t teach this at all anymore

That you were important and special

7/19/21 7:43am

You just evolved the wrong way.

I use math every day with my work. Math is absolute. I love that!

That we'd all be using the metric system

You're not making a real point
