Proofreader wanted

I believe the movement or policy that is trying to be passed in US schools is to get rid of cursive writing and put in typing in it's place.

I think another issue with typing on mobile devices is autocorrect IMO. People just rely on it and don't bother to proofread what they typed. One example I saw just now.

Here is a tweet from MMAWeekly

Surgeon Detains Anderson Silva's Surgery, Expects Full Recovery

Obviously they mean details here but I bet whomever put this tweet together was on a phone and just was tapping or swiping away and didn't catch the incorrect word.

In the Illinois school system, there's a movement afoot to do away with cursive. At the same time doctorate candidates are being taught how to now deal with college age students with poor grammar and writing skills.

Some schools here in Michigan have done away with teaching cursive already. How are these kids going to read anything of importance from our past? History is full of documents, letters, etc., written in cursive. They had a knack for excellent penmanship.

Makes you wonder if a simple "signature" on a contract, check, or just a letter will vanish as a form of validation.

Signatures may indeed become secondary to thumb prints, retinal scans or some other sort of copy. Signatures are already impossible to match with current credit card displays that are common in most stores and try to make out your own signature, let alone try, on a UPS scanner. It's a joke, but it's valid.

All the best,
