       Turns out “cursive” is an American-ism this is what I’m talking about.

       @futurebird "Cursive" is the best label for it among the english speaking countries I'm familiar with. In Australia it's "running writing" and in England it's... and I still can't quite believe it: "joined-up writing".I'm with the Americans on this one!

       @john @futurebird In catalan it's «escriptura lligada», almost the same: knotted writing.

       @john @futurebird and the funny thing is most Brits don't do cursive capital letters, they do block capitals then the lower case is joined-up writing. It's fun to spook people with a capital Q in cursive. Sadly no more Queenie means a limit to this fun.
