This has happened time and time again, but maybe it hasn't happened to speakers of the English language in a longer time and this is remarkable. My German grandma wrote in a style called Sütterlin that neither I nor my parents could read but she learned in school. I'm able to read blackletter/gothic script which must gen x people cannot read just because my parents had a lot of old books and I wanted to read an old print of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. There already was little practical value in being able to read that back then and I'd rather see young people put that every towards a foreign language, literature, philosophy or math or computer skills. The only time I notes read blackletter is to translate ancestry documents for my wife.
