Seems like there is definitely a need to, still.

Oh believe me, I wish we lived in a world where people put as half as much thought into their typing skills as they do their Starbucks orders... I still remember typing drills in school... I took that crap seriously.

Metaphor is dying as well and I wish it wouldn't. That is a great point. Also, the money spent on coffee is enormous. I just make my own for a lot less.

I totally agree... People can't infer from missing information anymore either and I have to think there's something in common there.

Also, picked up a $20 burr grinder and started grinding my own beans. They keep way longer and two cups a day comes out to something ridiculous like 25¢ versus, what... $8 for a single venti that's really just a glorified milkshake?
