Must be a shop owned by a Gen Xer.
The Gen Zers can't even read a clock.
Hah!
TRUTH!! when one of them asked what my clock on the wall was, i just looked at him and said, what? he said, what is that. (my clock is in Roman numerals), so i kind of gave him that, but then when i said it's a clock, he said, he only reads digital. i was floored. he's 15.
they don't know what cursive writing is either.
Not teaching cursive stops people from researching their history.
So does not teaching Latin.
Tons of stuff was written in Latin, right up until the early 20th century. Heck, Parliamentary debates in Austria-Hungary were in Latin so as not to favour either German or Magyar! It filled the role that Esperanto was invented to fill, i.e. be everyone's "second language" to aid communications. And not all of it has been translated.
In the late 1960s "the powers that be" just decided to stop teaching it. And now all that material is magically inaccessible.
Just as they wanted it to be.
