My father owned a big country store in Virginia. He could add 4 columns of figures in his head. he would write the figures on a brown paper bag so the customer could see he wasn't cheating. He finally got a cash register, but he didn't trust it. He just used it to keep the cash in. Now I see cashiers, if they make a mistake inputting the data they have to start all over again. They aren't usually rude, bu they are dumb as a box of rocks.

Children can read but they can't write. They can't spell. They don't know punctuation. They can't write in script and they can't read script Letters to my grandchildren I have to print in block letters. It's pathetic.
