@mjd@mathstodon.xyz Actually, you probably should work on your penmanship. (Speaking as a university teacher who has to mark the most dreadful handwritten exam scripts every single year.)

@jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz As an adult I learned to write a nice italic hand, which is much handsomer than the hideous Palmer style that primary school was trying to teach me. The point still stands: learning to type was much more valuable to me, and perhaps also to the university professors who had to read my papers, which I typed rather than handwriting. A reasoned response to the calculator argument is needed, and mockery is not it.
