HowToPhil (Phillip R)I'm convinced that when <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LexLuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LexLuthor</a> makes fun of Clark's shorthand notes in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AllstarSuperman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AllstarSuperman</a>, he actually knows exactly what he's looking at. Lex would already know and have perfected all forms of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shorthand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shorthand</a>. It would have been a "weekend project" at most for him. He would want to /know/ what the notes on reporters' pads were. He'd train to read it all upside down.

I think it would be socially beneficial to teach these skills to young American kids, today.Basic accounting and personal finance are useful skills for adults, and indispensable for college kids wielding credit cards.The slide rule endows the student with a keener understanding of various functions and, more importantly, always to check one's results, mentally. Being able to write in a beautiful, cursive script with a fountain pen may now be but a party trick, but it still is an important social skill.Shorthand offers a massive advantage in note taking. Given that every child learns to type social media posts well before they first learn to speak, proper typing technique should be taught to children, for efficiency, for preventing repetitive stress injuries, etc.Telegraphy is valuable in aviation: VOR and NDB navigation aids transmit their identifiers in Morse code. And Morse code is still a thing in the amateur radio scene.Teaching kids basic carpentry, like making a rough table, is of limited utility, but they will never forget that experience of making something out of raw materials.Above all, these old skills are cool, at least in some circles. And if nothing else, these activities will surely keep them off social media.

masukomire is it hard to learn? I've dived into a bunch of systems now and how hard each one is to learn varies wildly. <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/Orthic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Orthic</a> is trivial to learn. The first stage of it is just a straight up letter swap really. Ex. Instead of writing "A" you write "-" but in a joined-up cursive format.phonetic systems are a little harder because now you're writing a symbol for a sound (phoneme) instead of for a letter. Depending on the phonetic system this can feel awkward. 🧵2/5 <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/shorthand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shorthand</a>
