Handwritten
When I was in my pre-school years, I have this book for a better handwriting, from bold letters to script. From time to time, I always practice by penmanship. From then on, I became the class secretary from grade school to college...actually not much in high school. Anyway, to make my story short, we Filipinos are trained to have a good penmanship. It may not be a very good one but it can be understood. Why I'm telling this.... I work in a data center in a bank which works on more on check processing. So I see all those captured images of a check and make sure all the details are correct. But the hardest thing was you can't understand the handwriting, the 6 can be a 4 or 0. You have to read the amount in words instead the figures will do. I will know if I got the wrong number if my batches are not balance. Then how they spell the words... i saw this one instead of "forty", its "fourty". And they don't use the thousand, its a hundred, like for "$1,600" its sixteen hundred. Anyway, im not criticizing or insulting anyone.. i just want to express my thoughts here.

the hubby shares your same sentiments. for the life of him, he doesn't understand why most adults here in america still write like they're in kindergarten. it leaves him speechless really.

nako, exactly. actually di lang spelling and handwritiing. pati grammar mali mali pa. i always correct my husband on his grammar. he would say something like "you was.. blah blah blah". i thought nung una sya lang, but i also notice some of my friends at work do that as well as some lyrics of songs they play on the radio, you'd hear something like that. it irritates the heck out of me, haha. i always tell him that he's such a lousy american, haha. pero nakakahawa nga sya :o)
