When I was addressing my daughter’s wedding invitations (2012), I had one returned TWICE, with a sticker that said, “No such address”. I checked with the groom’s mother & she confirmed that the address was correct. I was writing in “plain” Copperplate. I finally got a small Manila envelope & tucked the last rejected envelope inside. I made a typed, computer-generated label and affixed it on the manila envelope and it was delivered just fine. Apparently, the postal worker couldn’t read cursive!
I have a good friend who is employed as a mortgage loan broker. She was at a closing & the buyers had received a note, written in cursive, from their own realtor, that they could not read. She had to read it to them orally, so that they could do what their real estate agent was telling them to do. Sigh! WHO thinks not teaching kids how to communicate is a good idea??
