Dans la famille des tablettes antiques, je demande... (le fils ! Ah non zut c'est pas ce jeu là).

So you want to learn #cuneiform, the ancient art of squiggly lines on clay tablets? 🤔 Because nothing screams "modern relevance" like mastering a 5,000-year-old writing system! 📜🗿 Enjoy translating your grocery list into dead languages while the rest of us use keyboards.

Oh, I have no problems at all with clay tablets! The physical resistance of the writing material helps in the learning process when taking notes. Sadly good clay tablets are hard to find nowadays, and expensive.

And I love Wikipedia. I was around when it started, and I never advised my students against it. Some of my colleagues did, but they were able and willing to learn.
