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

Did anyone here learn phonics in school?

    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. 🤷‍♂️
