You should have taught her. My grandfather taught me to tell analog time when I was very little using a toy clock.

Mine do. That’s the only way they have ever signed their name.

think about it…clocks with hands…
that anthropomorphism was always
kind of creepy anyway!
No. Cursive is a “dead” written language now. My kids can’t read it and they are over 18 now. They print their name. Ever wonder why forms now ask for you to always print your name to sign them?
yes. i’ve never known anything to “require” you write in cursive. heck, sometimes i just make a line.

Actually your watch is a little off.

wheres it written that signatures have to be in cursive
my kid has a quiz on the phases of the moon tomorrow. after he “studied” he said he was ready to go. I asked if he could name each phase by looking at a picture of it and he said, well I don’t know what they’re called. our youth is in serious trouble.

cursive was never a problem…
until people started being incapable
of learning it.

no, because i don’t usually see that. occasionally one will ask for both print and signature, i only ever remember them asking for a signature specifically
The same way you sign for something on your phone, apparently. Some illegible squiggle. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what the OP means by “server time”.

because peoples handwriting is atrocious
I am constantly being admired for my handwriting …I take pride in it being neat, and easily read.
taking cursive out of schools was the dumbest thing I ever heard…lol…back to making an ‘x’ for a signature, when people couldn’t read or write.
They teach kids that time zones exist, but not to understand what time it is in somebody else’s time zone. Only people who have had reason to work with and communicate with people in other time zones seem to be able to make the mental conversion. Once you have it, you have it.
Cursive handwriting is for calligraphers. Printing is much faster and more legible.

I don’t have to wonder - it’s because signatures are notoriously illegible from being stylized (or just a mark). You print so it can be read.

iit will be up at the start of the next hour. they base all their timing on californian time zones because thats where the place is. look up time zones and you will see you are wrong and its not extended.
unrelated but i always sign my name donald duck for plausable deniability.

All these anxious nerds logging onto the server at the same time (probably in the bank room) gonna crash my toaster.
that was my thought, and whether they’re allowed to just print it or they have to squiggle, wont they be required to reproduce that same print or squiggle in a reliable way? otherwise your signature could be forged rather easily
