Description
Handwriting’s decline isn’t just about typing—it’s a cultural shift. Frank McNally’s messy script sparked a debate: fountain pens might help, but lefties like Leo Ó Seanáin warn they can backfire. Victoria Madigan’s 70s anecdote—where a kid quipped, “That’s what a secretary is for”—reveals how outdated handwriting’s job-market mythos has become. In a digital age where tech handles spelling and grammar, is perfect penmanship still worth the struggle? The episode asks: what skills truly matter when tools evolve?
