    The a in Gaffney doesn’t have the leading stroke from your handwriting example.

      Yeah but the one in brain does. The example is shit cursive anyway. The point being the one in gaffney still has the line at the bottom on the right. The standalone one is just not an a.

      Here I even wrote it correctly just for you.

        From your original handwriting example, I thought you were suggesting that the way you were taught, letter “o” and “a” always have the leading stroke (like Larson’s standalone “a”), even when the letter starts a word. Sorry, I may have misunderstood.

          I dont actually remember if we were taught they should have it when starting. I just know that all letters in one world should be connected and that the endstroke should be there to distinfuish between a and o.
