Do you mean that you can't read it at all? It's really close to lettering, it's just got swoopies attached to most letters. There are only around 4 that you have to know how they're different, but the rest are super similar.
This is definitely dependent on the person writing. Some cursive is illegible, others is totally fine.
I mean, some non-cursive is totally illegible. My print is pretty bad, but my cursive is fine
That's true. I learned cursive first, but never really properly. Then learned print instead. Now my writing is a mashup of cursive and print, with the same letter in a single sentence sometimes using different writing styles. Great!
There's a bunch of different systems that vary how close they are to standard print
Swoopies. ❤️
Capital letters:
F, R, and z
I've tried to read 19 century cursive journals and other historical documents. It's impossible, and I'm old enough to have learned it at school.
There's a reason engineers and technical disciplines used block/print letters.
