[โ] EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) They're right next to each other. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] aulin@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Oh, wtf! I just looked up US cursive, and that thing is apparently a G? The horror! That's certainly not what a cursive G looks like where I'm from. And your capital S just looks like a bigger lowercase s. Same with capital A. Why does it look like a lowercase a?! Edit: The cursive we learned 30 years ago, for comparison: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Svssfb.jpg permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago Yeah, it was about the same for me too. Although, to be fair, a lot of these aren't really consistent, even within the same country. I've seen both types of S and A around, though it's the first time i see that weird G. Honestly, most of the more complicated ones aren't really used where i'm from at all. Like, if you're really trying to be fancy, sure, i could see it, but the writing i see day to day is a lot more simplified. Whole point is to write fast anyway. permalink fedilink source parent
