Apparently, some schools in the U.S. didn’t teach phonics until recently (2014).

Did anyone here learn phonics in school?

      I said back in the day. I was born in 1982, back when people Xeroxed their memes and knew how to spell out things like Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Fucking Ass Off.

        Xerox?! In my day we only had those faded-ass mimeographs, stinky sheets of blurry purple letters :P

        …and we learned phonics in Canada in the late 70s.

          Ah, we actually had those purple mimeographs in gradeschool! Yep, the quality was shit, but it worked.

          I just figured more people would remember Xerox. 🤷‍♂️
