Back in the day the super rich couldn't bother to write any better, but at least they had the decency to hire a secretary so their messages were even somewhat legible. Seems like the habit of dictating your messages has all but vanished, even in professional contexts.
Maybe the 14-16 year olds they now "hire" are too young to write professionally, compared to the 18-20 somethings of yesteryears.
