DS, you are not aging yourself (LOL), but before the internet age there was this thing called the library that had books and I am not sure since I am not a dinosaur, but I think the alphabet were in books or at least carved into a slab somewhere.

LOL......Just kidding. But seriously.....NO EXCUSE for her not knowing.

He really isn't aging himself. The internet wasn't widely used by damn-near-everyone even in the mid to late 1990s. So that would include me as one of the people who was 20 before I discovered that this mess existed.

We were given the Greek alphabet on a sheet of paper. Those who gave it to us didn't get it from the internet.

I really meant that he was not aging himself. I only LOLed because he said it. I also really meant what I said about the library. My mother and I went to the library a WHOLE lot when I was little and there was no internet, only a card catalogue....lol.

I went to private school as a child and I swear they would just make up assignments to make us write (but it made me a better writer so I can't complain too much). Anyway, I recall an assignment where I had to write a paper and cite it using the full citations from card catalogs and state which library I went to. T.E.D.I.O.U.S.

To Blu and all others that commented...

I don't know how the rest of you all were 'raised' ( the only word I can think of right now...no offence.) But if that wasn't the first thing you learned before you went thru intake, it was one of the very first things you had to learn (at my campus at least) before you showed interest.

Not only should one know how to say them in order...but dayum...learn to recognize them!

Someone related to me how someone didn't understand how or why it was important it was to learn but just give up essential information....

To me, learning the letters is the KEY to get all the essential information!
