Does Anybody Write Letters Anymore?
32 Answers
I don't mean letter of complaint, I mean writing to friends and relatives - seems in this day and age with texts and IM's and emails hardly anybody bothers anymore. I noticed my handwriting when writing out cards at Christmas has become atrocious! My children know I'd be very disappointed in them if they didn't write thank you letters to people who have sent them gifts (I mean people far away not somebody face to face) I used to have 3 pen-friends when I was young and I loved receiving their letters

Emails have meant that I now keep in touch more frequently and can 'chat'.
I phone my elderly relatives and have long chats (even the ones in Australia).
I hate text messages and will not communicate in this way unless urgent.
As for children, a phone call in thanks for a gift - or an email is acceptable nowadays in my opinion.

My writing is a bit haphazard. I do think it's because I type more than write these days.
My old boss's was appalling though. Always thought he should have been a doctor. I was the only one in the office that could read it, any notes he left for people would come back to me for translating.
My dad had lovely delicate writing. Brings a lump to my throat when I come across anything he wrote.

I used to write so much when I was younger, and it was the only real way to stay in touch with some people, write thank you notes etc...
I very rarely do nowadays, mainly texting and some emails and I keep in touch with a lot of people via Facebook.
Mum has got into texting now and even my dad managed to work out how to send a text message to me yesterday after getting a phone at Christmas (he didn't realise flight mode was on, bless him) :)
