I'm so old I Remember when:

[EmmaDonovan]

Hmm. I didn't get shop OR Home Ec at my school. I got either 3 or 4 years of Latin, though, (don't remember) and I can diagram a sentence like nobody's business! (I know ... like who's going to hire me to do that, right? Nobody ever did, tbh! )

We had the choice of Latin, Spanish, French, or German. The kids who took Latin were headed for medical and law careers, which I was not. I wanted to take French but my mom insisted I take Spanish. I have to admit that as a southern Californian, Spanish has been much more useful than French. I have spent more time in Spain than France so it was useful there, too.

I wish I had taken Latin, it would have helped me with Church Latin!

We had Spanish, French, or Latin. And I THINK they later had ASL for the juniors and seniors as like an elective. And possibly German, I can’t remember. But yeah.

And now I’ll be scrutinizing your posts to detect how often you end a sentence with its verb.

(So far, it looks like your English syntax is just fine.)​

This is the kind of scrutiny up with which I will not put!

And they all came with cigarette lighters and ashtrays

Our MF2675 farm tractor has a cigarette lighter on the dash, also our Kawasaki Muel.

I went to a one-foreign language high school, so French was my choice, as that was it.

They didn’t have either shop or home economics at my school. My Dad taught me to change a plug (along with a lecture about correctly rated fuses) and my Mom taught me how to use basic tools.
Someone attempted to teach me how to sew a buttonhole (can’t imagine either of my parents knew how to do that) but that lesson didn’t really stick.
My grandmother taught me to knit but she was left handed so apparently I knit strangely!

I'm a righty. The dear aunt who taught me to knit was a lefty. As a result, I've been told I knit backwards. Is it weird? Sure, but it all works out in the end as soon as I turn the finished product around!

I'm a southpaw. Imagine how we all feel with the whole entire world being geared bass ackwards.
