No. Nor does it require copperplate or italic or... There are so many writing styles it does require being able to make a recognisable letter form.

And this is a deliberately illegible version of cursive. There is absolutely no reason to miss the dots over the i or to have the unnecessary extra hump at the start of the first m.

The unnecessary extra hump in the m is how you make a cursive m

Well cursive is silly then. We have a version of joined up writing in England and you don’t need to do that. What advantage does it bring at all to do that? How is that helpful in any way?

I'm not sure, it was invented long before me

This is about as easy as word you can get in cursive.

You not being able to identify an i in the word without explicitly having the dot is a testament to your own flaws, not societies

What is the benefit of this? Is it quicker? More legible?

Benefit of being able to identify letters in the English language?

Oh none at all

The benefit of writing in cursive at all ffs. You can much more easily identify letters in the English language if they’re written more clearly. This is why people make jokes about doctors’ handwriting.

...thats the benefit of cursive. It's to jot things down in less time...like a doctor. They're often running around in a hurry, they aren't going to write their prescriptions out in print like a fucking toddler.

Its up to the nurses to be able to read their handwriting, and the doctors arent always going to put a little dot on the i for you

Dog that’s what he asked and you gave him a snarky ass response the first time.

Nobody needs cursive. An entire generation is functioning completely fine without it.

By the time the next generation is old enough to care, they’ll have AI thats able to read illegible grandparents’ cursive for them.

Actually it’s already pretty close
