Thread: When was the last time you wrote a REAL letter?

I just sent one out today!
I actually send a fair number each week, and I can't explain how delighted I am to see you voice a lot of my thoughts so eloquently!

Here, good sir, is to our art of text!

A few years ago my best friend went inside for a serious transgression. Serious and shameful enough for him to cut out everything from his old life, including me, when he came out. Our final letters to each other were long and hand written. Sometimes, there's no other way than to hand write a letter.

I write letters infrequently, but I do do it. Usually not by hand, unfortunately, because my handwriting is HORRENDOUS, except in Japanese. For some reason, my Japanese handwriting is much more legible than my English...maybe because I'm much more careful?

I personally feel that letters are the number one most effective way to communicate, especially with companies. Conversations can actually be a bit more difficult, because of human tendencies to get all emotional.

Oh frequently I do. Much too frequently actually.
I realize that my hand writing suffered quite a bit, since I just type usually.
That does not make them very pretty. But for certain people a letter is just the appropriate thing.

Love your comparison between a mach3 cartridge and a razor.
You're so right.

Last time I wrote someone a letter was in january, when I sent a surprise to a good friend. For special occasions, I prefer handwriting, even though my handwriting is quite bad.
I also write letters for my wife from time to time, to tell her that I love her.

Can't even remember the last time I put pen to paper for a letter. I do still send real cards tho. I hate to get online cards and hence never send them. I seems so ............ thoughtless. I mean if you don't have the time to go the the card store and write your own message what's the use?
