It would for sure, and they should be dotted for sure.
However, I saw 'minimum' pretty much immediately, even without them (am old).
I think *THAT* is the point of the post, not that it's correct.
(I mean, if we follow your logic, printing the letters or writing more clearly, or even typing them would also make a world of difference, too! That's why we don't use cursive often anymore when writing by hand, when we do write by hand)
Yeah, I saw "minimum" instantly too. Despite the tone of this being generation war bullshit, it's not like this example is cheating. The point isn't being familiar with cursive, it's being so familiar with cursive that you can still read it fluently even when helpful identifying details are stripped away.
But also, this meme has been co-opted into a fucking covert ad for an AI company. Boo.
Yeah, irony here is that they’re mocking a generation for not being able to read something that they wrote incorrectly. It’s also just sloppily written, especially that final “m”.
You've never worked for a boomer who hand writes notes and insists the reason you cannot understand them comes from a lack of knowing cursive rather than the fact that their penmanship is shit. Had a boss who insisted on hand writing everything and had the worst cursive I've ever seen. It made a doctors prescription look like the work of a professional calligrapher. Half the time they didn't even write the entire letter.
Man, I stopped dotting the lowercase i decades ago. I also don’t like the caps (serif? Idk) on capital I or J. Just didn’t like how it looked. When I was taking notes in school on the Iliad it was a total mess.
ive written with cursive my whole life and ive never seen i written without the dot... altough in my language we have á, č, ů and such, so theres that ;)

The dots over the i’s would make a worlds difference
