Trifle Approval

Ye Olde "Practical Knowledge For All" to the rescue this Friday night..at 4 mins to midnight no less!
Is this a lost art? Does anyone use or even know shorthand any longer? Has awful text talk or emojis taken over even regular language? 
More importantly..how did my Friday night entertainment come to this??? Well, maybe it's a step up from painting the utility room earlier on, at least there was beer.
Well can't hang about here all night..page 326 is all about Irregular Verbs - 4th Conjugation, in French.  May as well pour another ale. 
Happy weekend folks :-)

Ciao
