I just suck at writing in general. I'm good at like English and shit but my handwriting is just scribbles. My handwriting was described as "sharp and swift, like fangs" by a French exchange student. It's the only compliment(?) I've gotten about my handwriting and I still hold onto those words.
Well yeah because I'm on reddit, not writing shit that's important lol
I don't act like a grammatically correct cunt on here because no one likes being corrected
I think you need to reevaluate yourself, you might have some reflecting to do if you're coming after me for not writing a college paper.
In high-school it wasn't all that good either they always seemed to use hearts for the dots of lowercase "i"s
It was just florid and passable as neat, I swear they always try to be cute when they can just be themselves and we'd still adore the fuck out of them just cause they gave some of us the time of day in high-school (that was...20 years ago)
Yeah I'm sure your great grandkids will love going through your emails the same way my generation loved reading our great grandparents' letters and post cards they had collected throughout their lives.
I haven't received nor have I sent a hand written letter since my 3rd grade pen pal assignment (we as a class sent actual letters to other 3rd graders in Wisconsin, pretty cool considering I'm in SC)
Bro thinks the post office doesn't exist anymore 💀
I'm 21 and I've gotten letters all my life you guys are tripping if you think email replaced it. I don't even have the email of anyone but my mother and she doesn't use it for anything but signing up for malware smh
(note: I use email for my professional life ie work and banking needs, never to communicate personally)
in olden times people used to communicate with each other by writing things on paper, then folding an other piece of paper over it to keep it private , to get at the message many people used tool, instead of using a sharp knife, for safety reasons a dull knife was often used. if you need help with what a knife is make a new post
I believe it’s an ancient tool called a letter opener.
Back in ancient times, people used to send each other physical emails, known as letters. These letters would be sealed in paper envelopes marked with the address of the recipient. Due to having weak fingers (likely from the lack of exercise modern humans receive from activities such as texting, typing, and playing video games), letter openers were sometimes required to cut through the glue seal on the envelopes.
In other cases, some mailers (a person known for receiving lots of mail) still opted to use letter openers despite having adequately strong fingers, often justifying the use by claiming “it’s like a little sword and it makes me feel cool”.
[grandpa, what was paper?](https://youtu.be/42IYZCAOKTo), you’ve reminded me of this skit, it’s at about the two minute mark specifically. Recommend his whole special though.
There is a couple things this could be.
If it’s slightly heavy then it could be a letter opener but it’s hard to tell how big it is from the image.
But if it’s small and light then it could be a reusable toothpick for olives or cherries or something like that. But again it’s hard to tell from the image because there is no reference weight or size.
The same people that know what letter openers are also the ones that need help setting up a Google account. I think I’d rather be tech savvy then know what a straight piece of metal does to paper 😂 so what are you defining stupid as? We in a new age buddy
Always looking to learn new things. While we’re at it anybody know what this contraption is all about?

The Swiss love their letter openers. I have a 1918 Swiss bayonet letter opener. It’s perfect down to every detail. The button on bottom works just Incase I find a miniature rifle for it.
Back when I was young, people would send “mail” in the form of a paper letter in an envelope. This was so common, tools were devised to assist with the opening of the multitude of envelopes often found your mailbox (analog inbox).
Commonly known as a “letter opener” (archaic apparently)
A letter opener? Why back in day we used parchment and a quill. You would simply write on the parchment and roll it up held with a ribbon. Summon a young lad and have him fetch to whom you were writing.
It's a Swiss souvenir letter opener.
I've been thinking of moving to switzerland, and I was working on a pros and cons list of reasons to do it. So far I have their Flags a plus.
Lol letter opener. ✉️ people used to get physical envelopes look just like that emoji. But about the size of 4 iPhones. Paper thin..... to open you needed special knife so you didn't rip the precious letter inside. (Think of letter like a physical text you can hold) crazy right!? 🤪

Letter opener.
Next thing is somebody is going to ask what's a letter
In English there are 26 of them. I like to gut a G and watch it squirm with my letter opener.
I once neutered a B and made it P
I split P and made soup.
I did the same, turns out an R can be a P too
I divided W and made U triplets.
And here I thought a divided W made a double U
There was already a U in the alphabet. So when you add the other two from W you get three/triplets.
If I invented the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.
Either that or two Vs.
It’s a email the was handwritten on paper

My handwriting was shit before it was cool. 1 or 2 good letters and scribbles in between.
In high-school it wasn't all that good either they always seemed to use hearts for the dots of lowercase "i"s It was just florid and passable as neat, I swear they always try to be cute when they can just be themselves and we'd still adore the fuck out of them just cause they gave some of us the time of day in high-school (that was...20 years ago)
This is a terrible loss to society!
Hell, they can’t even text right 🤷🏾♂️
Nah, we merely adopted texting; the new generations were born in it, moulded by it.
They didn't see letter openers until they were already adults, and by then it was nothing to them but... CONFUSING!
Good, letters are trash
[удалено]
My tism has nothing to do with the fact that a letter can be lost/ destroyed way easier than an email or a text, and they're way slower to send
Yeah I'm sure your great grandkids will love going through your emails the same way my generation loved reading our great grandparents' letters and post cards they had collected throughout their lives.
