    Lowercase m, n, u, v, and w are confusing as shit when placed next to or near each other.

          You got me writing ‘vacuum’ and ‘anniversary’ in cursive, and got so conscious about how I write it that my speed crawled to a stop and my handwriting got even worse than what I started with, lol!

          In casual writing, I separate out v, w and other letters that are trickier to write in full cursive. Same goes with t, i, j so that I can do the crosses and dots before moving on.

          All those seems to have done the job of making my cursive a bit easier to read. All hell breaks loose when I need to write really fast though.


          EDIT: stupid formatting, lol!

              I tried writing them so that I can post this. I might have failed in making them both cursive and legible, lol!

              That very last line is my attempt at writing at speed. 😅

          I didn’t mean the word, but the way some people write the letters ‘m’ and ‘n’ with the bows downwards, so that the look really similar to ‘w’ and ‘u’.
