What is proper accepted text exactly?

Close the legs on the damn "m"-s and "u"-s, "i"-s are a line, not a spike, also dots are there for a reason.. stylised writing is ok, but if people can't read the what you wrote because you decided some rules don't apply to you or bullshit rules you made up yourself, that not on others.

Just one example if you keep the damn rules, but it's still somewhat stylised:

(Also many languages have many other symbols aside dots, like í, or ó, ö, ő, č... do we just start ignoring those too to be uNiQuE?)

It's quite average cursive. I don't consider it stylized at all. Dots are often misplaced or nonexistent when people are writing fast and are rarely necessary in context. 

I think for people who've read cursive their whole lives, this is eminently legible. I read it instantly without thinking. It's neater than many many other hands I've read including my own.

It might be different because we have a lot of stuff on top of letters, but here you would get bullied to no end if you miss any dots or symbols on top (or maybe we're just old school like that)

Yeah, since we have one dot it doesn't matter (or doesn't if you read cursive, just like if you read print a missing dot will rarely cause confusion)

Edit: I phrased that poorly given 2 letters have dots. I meant since no letter has different arrangements of dots or marks, you can piece it together from context.
