Pen or pencil

 

Two-thirds of young adults use a pen or pencil less than once a day and 26{a18c87a46add82dbee5e4fa4c0cab30d5f6e3bbf78c3f52c3c01413f7f531a16} of young adults have not sent nor received a letter in the last ten years. 89{a18c87a46add82dbee5e4fa4c0cab30d5f6e3bbf78c3f52c3c01413f7f531a16} say they would love to get a letter but rely more on text messages and social media. The most common letter sent or received is a “Thank You” letter. 57{a18c87a46add82dbee5e4fa4c0cab30d5f6e3bbf78c3f52c3c01413f7f531a16} of young adults say their handwriting has suffered from lack of use. Do you still write letters? How often do you use a pen or pencil? I do every day! And throughout the day!
