German schoolkids still have to learn to write cursive with a fountain pen.
Could be worse, they could still be using Fractur.
(Which I think was only for printing. Every time a German has told me a joke they’ve had to explain it to me, which is why I am putting in this parenthetical remark. To spoil the joke you see, as if I were one of my German cousins).
