Capital Q. It's like an O but they gave it a tail, or made it a dude, or something.

Those are both fine letters, you guys are idiots.
What you need to look into (to begin with) is lowercase g. I mean sometimes it's g somtimes it's g! Mirror images almost! :Wha:

Yeah that's pretty bad but that's more of a cursive sucks balls issue because Z is kind of studly IYAM
-
i never learned how to write in cursive. my parents told me there would be computers where everyone would type so i didnt need to learn it.
-
so, like, all of the cursive letters are weird and pointless.

Actually my previous post makes me realize that Y is kind of weird. Dumped late in the alphabet like an afterthought, considered to be a vowel only sometimes? GTFOOMF, you're either a vowel 24/7 or you're not.

That's a Q

What about Thorn þ? This has been the source of confusion for centuries! You used to abbreviate "The" with þe, but then people got lazy and didn't close their loops and it became: ye. Now people think it means the old timey word "ye" (meaning you), but it's NOT it's THE!

just read the wikipedia history of the y thanks to your post. fascinating. linguistics is so interesting.

mrs. dave writes in cursive. it's infuriating. nobody left on this planet under the age of 75 can read that nonsense.
-
I don't have any trouble recognizing any of those letters. The real weird ones are in the East Asian languages. Those aren't even letters. They're just lines and shapes and crap.
-
I've noticed the christmas/birthday/how are you doing card is sorta the last bastion of american cursive. There's my grandma's super cute old-timey version of cursive, but even my 40-something relatives write in shitty cursive in their cards. Weird.
-
sometime in the late 80's Americans said enough with this rough ridin' cursive nonsense.
If I wrote in cursive it would look like someone with frying pans for hands wrote it.
-
When you see a cursive letter, you know it's a letter. When you see East Asian writing, you have no idea what the eff you're looking at. It's just a bunch of lines.
-
I feel fancy when i write in cursive.
-
I use a print/cursive hybrid that absolutely no one can read
-
I can't sign my name in cursive the same way every time. Not even close. It has been a lifelong struggle and it's super embarrassing when having to fill out multiple-page forms such as lease agreements, new bank account, etc.

I think at least one bar application required me to write out some stuff in cursive. It was pretty bad.
-
I just scribble.

I never would have thought this would be a good thread, but I've been wrong before....MOAR!!!!
Prepare to be mind blown, mrsdobber does this stuff called calligraphy. It's really fancy cursive writing. She has even been paid to address wedding invitations and such. :Wha:

It is why I never want to go there. Terrifying.

Why is it uppercase R and a lowercase r? How are those letters even remotely related?

Well, that's a good question. After scrutinizing the letters of the alphabet, I detect that it's the only letter that has a closed uppercase section, but no lowercase closed section. So: :dunno:
