What's The Most Difficult Letter For You To Form In Cursive?

[Jwolf24601]

I am still working on finding different G, I, and T's to use. I do not like them in their standard Palmer form.

No so much individually, but as a group, writing in cursive, egypt is a pain in the wrist. Three descenders in a row. Similarly, gryphon is also a pain. Anything with multiple, consecutive, or nearly consecutive descenders are difficult to do with any finesse.

Mostly D, but E and R are awkward for me to write.

[Chthulhu]

Capital I because of where it starts.

[GaVinci]

lowercase b kills me. It's even worse when that lower case b is followed by an r... like break....

[Maruk]

For me it's the capital C - looks too much like an E when I write it. On the lowercase side it is the b,r and u/v letters-chains that kills me. A good example would be bruise.

Uppercase Zs are hard for me. I think it's because there's not a lot of reason to write them in English.

Same here. I always just use a normal print looking b for my cursive.

B and D for me,

[Vargouille]

You would probably laugh a little, but for me it's the capital I's. Everything else is easy, it's just that when I do the I's, it turns out like a T or a J.

Uppercase G :embarrassed_smile:

Ditto, for "b followed by r." And I have no excuse for not mastering it, since I've been writing it for some 4 decades.

Glad to see I am not the only one. Since I posted this, I have worked on it, and i think its gotten worse

[Aeltar]

Upper case J, M, N and lower case r.

 

I don't reverse strokes for my upper case E, just make a very narrow loop then back down.

Whether printing or writing cursive, low case "e" always does me in. If I try to make one as I learned in Peterson/Palmer style, it looks like a mini "l." I generally cope by writing a "c" then closing in the final stroke. But the outcome looks different every time. It is the letter from hell for me.

 

Edited: I said mini "l" (L) above, but in this font it looks like an upper case "i."

B and D for me,

 

I don't know about the B, but if you can make figure 8s, I might try making a 8 slanted to the right, get used to that, then try opening it up on one end and close it up on the other. Let me know if that works?

Anyone find there is less of a problem making certain letters with different nibs? I find an italic or wide italic helps tremendously on m, n, e, r.

I can agree fully that italic nibs help me in writing "m, n, and r," in fact they help my writing in general. But, they still do not help me much with "e," the bane of my writing existence.

[79spitfire]

I have a bad habit of looping lower case "t" and not looping "h" or "k". When I get in a hurry, my writing falls to chicken scratch VERY quickly, and unfortunately, I seem to always be in a hurry!

 

And yes individual letters are no problem whatsoever, but I do tend to botch combos frequently. In 'service' my brain tells me I wrote all the letters then after proof reading I realize I smooshed the rvi into one letter!

[Kaustic]

Lower case r's, k's, and g's. When I write quickly the r's look like i's, the k's look like h's, and the upper part of the g's fail to complete and end up looking like y's.
