LOL, SMH, and TTYL are some of the text lingo for today. Simple translation equates to laugh out loud, shaking my head, and talk to you later. “A 2014 Gallup poll confirmed a truth that has become self-evident: Text messages now outrank phone calls as the dominant form of communication among Millennials,” says Neil Howe of Forbes magazine.

Nashville small business entrepreneur, Kimberly Washington, aims to reverse some of this text speak and get people back to traditional writing with PaperKuts Studio. Why paper? “I’ve always loved paper. Paper runs the gamut. There is an invitation for any event. Who doesn’t love to receive a handwritten note in the mail from somebody,” Kimberly explains.

When did penmanship and cursive writing get removed from schools? Ohio representative Cheryl L. Grossman proposed House Bill 58 to reinstate instruction of cursive writing in schools. Kimberly’s product encourages writing, the art and physical act of it. Putting a pen and note from the heart in one’s hand emotes more and cannot be compared to a simple text of “Thank you.”
