    And yet it relates to the comments you made. I never would have gone looking for this image if you had just accelted the way I write my r’s. This image relates to a whole different discussion that appeared in the comments

      Sure. My point is that the say English speakers write cursive Rs is relevant to the image. How another language does it isn’t particularly relevant.

      What language is that BTW? It looks Slavic, but I can’t put my finger on which one it is.

        Yes the english way is different. I just showed how we are taught to write when you told me my way of writing r is not correct.

        It is Slovenian. But pretty much all the southern slavic languages write latin cursive the same way. (Of course they also have other letters but you get the point)

          That’s an interesting bit of trivia I’ll have to bring up with my Macedonian and Bosnian/Herzogovinian coworkers.

          When writing English in cursive, would you adopt the English style or just add the English letters? Cursive is such a weird, niche thing that I find this difference completely fascinating.

            Well pretty sure serbian and croatian usw the same since when I looked for slovenian on duckduckgo it kept also giving me serbian resulta since some of the words are the same for my search term used.

            When we started discussing cursive in like I think 3rd year of learning english we only added Q,W,Y,X and w is not really anything mindblowing. Also is there really any difference apart form the r?

              f, p, z, I, G, and S all look a bit different. They’re recognizable, and in most cases, your version is more similar to the non-cursive version and thus more recognizable.
