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.

I think I encountered it first in (old school) Runescape, where one of the songs in the soundtrack is named yesteryear. It’s one of the first tracks you hear when you start playing, in case you’re not familiar.
