“Rirruto?”

“Those are Z’s”

“Well they look like R’s to me.”

“That’s not fair! Rizzuto’s not even a word, he’s a baseball player! I hate school! I’m never coming back!”

Would you like to try the word “buzz”?

Cursive f is actually way to high the whole point of cursive is to learn to write fast and cursive f is slower. I’m sure a large amount of people aren’t even aware it’s an f ( the middle right two)

The one furthest to the right is a “J”

Which one? The bottom one to the right is a ,z" (the thing looking like a 3).

Far right, second one from the bottom.

It’s really no more time consuming than any other letter. It might look a bit bigger, bit it’s just two loops, which is a very quick and natural movement that you’ll be doing a lot if you write in cursive.

It’s more about following the flow of the lines than the size of the letters. Each letter should feed into the next one, so you’ll barely need to take your hand off the paper for the same word. Even if you choose to make an especially “high f”, that’d still take less than a second of you know what you’re doing.

(Also, as has already been pointed out, second one is a J)

Hard disagree on this one, the lowercase k needs to be way more to the right, or at the very least should have h i and l to the left of it. k looks so kool.

I never liked the lower case “r” and “s.” They’re so awkward to make.

little b should be in the low left corner
