Well, we should distinguish between "snail mail" and "writing letters", but this is a different matter. As far as I'm concerned, I've never stopped writing letters, so I can see that it's "a way of life". I'll be 40 in some weeks, so here I am: writing letters in my old age... ;-)Mail Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574231572383527950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782996301838206855.post-2960788708138955662014-11-24T20:09:02.480+01:002014-11-24T20:09:02.480+01:00Haha, I don't know how old you are! :-) I'...Haha, I don't know how old you are! :-) I'm 44 and sometimes I feel like a granny talking about that famous old times. <br /><br />By the way, I also think it's to do with examples kids see: My mum introduced me to letters (and even had me place an ad in a kids newspaper, nobody would do that today I guess for privacy) & my teachers also encouraged us to write letters to use our foreign language. I even tried at french for a while but I could never express myself well enough to really discuss something in letters. In class, only few really got into letterwriting, but later I also had work colleagues who said "oh is this a penpal letter in your hand? I also write to ...."Tea & Lettersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782996301838206855.post-89031909915365834282014-11-24T20:00:48.437+01:002014-11-24T20:00:48.437+01:00What do you mean?

I think the handwritten word means so much more.<br />But it is interesting that a lot of businesses don't have contact details for the written word. it is so unusual that the other day I actually told my wife 'Oh look, Nationwide have a correspondence address as well as e-mail and phone'.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782996301838206855.post-69339236327906657022014-11-23T12:52:36.942+01:002014-11-23T12:52:36.942+01:00No, no és que ho hagen canviat molt: són exactamen...No, no és que ho hagen canviat molt: són exactament les mateixes persones repetint exactament els mateixos quatre guions.

My teacher managed to ask us to send her a letter or a postcard. It was very fun. Some years later I received a postcard from my homerown. It was from my godson, who had done a similar exercise at school and he chose to write me. <br /><br />After the first experience I always sent a postcard to my grandparents when we were in Peníscola (every Summer for three years). :)Eutrapèliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140916762715905194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782996301838206855.post-47863893631472108342014-11-21T13:31:58.461+01:002014-11-21T13:31:58.461+01:00OMG, what would I have missed if I did not know ho...OMG, what would I have missed if I did not know how to write and send letters....poor girl! <br />EvaJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
