[โ] peto@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Vacuum is another good one, or anniversary. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] megane_kun@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) You got me writing 'vacuum' and 'anniversary' in cursive, and got so conscious about how I write it that my speed crawled to a stop and my handwriting got even worse than what I started with, lol! In casual writing, I separate out v, w and other letters that are trickier to write in full cursive. Same goes with t, i, j so that I can do the crosses and dots before moving on. All those seems to have done the job of making my cursive a bit easier to read. All hell breaks loose when I need to write really fast though.

I grew up at a time when cursive is a requirement--not just for one class, but for all classes in primary school. I remember our teachers checking our notebooks and making comments on our handwriting. All our compositions and essays were required to be in cursive, and they check for penmanship, keeping margins and all that. It was a whole lot of effort for something that I rarely get to use in higher levels. I switched to print in HS, when cursive is no longer required. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Successful_Try543@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I didn't mean the word, but the way some people write the letters 'm' and 'n' with the bows downwards, so that the look really similar to 'w' and 'u'. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] megane_kun@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Oh, yeah! Sometimes context helps, but if you can't even read a single word, you're just out of luck! permalink fedilink source parent
