I never saw anyone call something that's scribbled on stationary, placed in an envelope, and mailed with a stamp "analog" mail. I usually cringe at retronyms like that.

Imo writing PTO or drawing ----> seems unnecessary, it's like typing "please scroll down to see the next post."

I guess it's something that second class British people do?

I don't think many people I know that do it. It's just something I picked up along the way and I can't help but put it down. I am an anxious person sometimes which makes me feel like I have to relay everything exactly how I need it too.

You people are too young for my jokes! You all make me sick!
Fixed.

That's no joke, though you think it is. It was quite some time before our house got its own telephone. We used to have to use the public box on the corner, handy for me as I could see it from my bedroom so didn't have to stand for ages in the rain (Ireland, remember!) waiting for whoever was in there to finish up. We thought we were great when we got our housephone: oh the comfort! The class! The luxury!

Tell me something, seriously: would you know how to make a call on one of these?

Clue: it does not connect to the internet and has no USB slot.

I'll thank you not to call me British. I am Irish. Please remember that. It could save your life one day.

As for "PTO" it was not ALWAYS used, but where say a letter would end maybe with "I'll be coming over in December" and then the author ran out of space, and it COULD have been the end of the letter, PTO would have you checking the back where it might say "assuming grandpa makes it through" or whatever. Important information could be on the back of the page, so if that was the case, the attention of the reader was drawn to it. It became a thing in my youth and before. A lot of official letters would have it. Also "Encl", just in case someone didn't check the envelope...

^That's a Blackberry, right? I don't do BlackBerry OS.
Actually I'm sure most people here know how to use a rotary phone, but today's children have no clue.
