What ever happened to penmanship?

sestreeNo really this isn't a pun - why can't people write where an an average person can read it? I know they beat penmanship into our heads in school. If it couldn't be read, it couldn't be graded.
Now? I have people filling out job applications and I can't read the addresses. Looking on the Driver's License is no help because 90% of the time that address is incorrect (or they don't have a DL they have a resident alien card).
No this isn't about the Hispanics - I can at least READ their phoenetic spellings and can usually figure out where they mean (Birgena has to be the funniest though. btw that translated into Virginia). If I literally cannot read the writing HTF am I supposed to mail a check?
I know that is my biggest concern upon starting a new job - well not offending the boss by flipping him off in traffic is another concern (a story for another time folks) but making certain they know where to mail my freakin $$$$$. C'mon folks. Yes my son is one of the worst.
What is this world coming to when materialism isn't enough of a motivator to make sure it's correct and legible?

Date: 2007-06-29 06:05 pm (UTC)What most people don't realize is if we cannot find someone (to mail their final check or one who worked one day and quit etc) and owe them payroll funds, we have to put it in as unclaimed property: we can't just 'keep' it.
I actually convert it into a payables issue check so we can track it better. We don't have a separate payroll checking account.
