How The Ballpoint Pen Killed Cursive

I tend to move between printing and cursive with ease. Cursive is defeinitely faster, but turns out to be sometimes illegible even to me. I prefer typing, as it is relatively fast and always easy to read.

Did technology spell the end of cursive writing? Or was it something else?

This week, a look at how the ballpoint pen killed cursive.

Is That Water Hot Enough to Kill Germs?

Much like the porridge Goldilocks sampled at the home of the Three Bears,water for washing dishes can be too hot or too cold, or be just right. Unlike porridge, you can usually make up for incorrect temperature with friction and/or soaking. I prefer the dishwasher option, as it is inevitably easier and almost always "just right".
