Russian handwriting

I’ll forever be amused at the Russian word “deprived” (лишили) in cursive, which looks like

for people wondering how the hell that works

I still don’t know how the hell that works.

See, to me it looks a lot like ‘minimum’ in English cursive:

Ok not so bad right? But it gets worse…

Like… what even is this?

Can’t tell me that’s a word right? But it is! Sure you could dot the i’s, but would it really help?

Yes. Yes it would.

Wikipedia: Minim (palaeography)

Why the fuck would language evolve in such a completely illogical way like this

Which is why cursive is dying a much needed death. (don’t argue with me on this point, you won’t convince me, I have trauma and a background in functional graphic design.)

@bomberqueen17

ok ok ok ok ok but Russian how do you tell cursive lower case Ls from cursive lower case Ts from cursive lower case Ms from oh my god it’s all just. Cursive lower case и looks like ш. It’s all. I don’t know! I don’t know. I’m trying to write properly in script in my own notes but I have to write it in block caps next to the lower case cursive because the lower case cursive just looks like someone wrote “minimum” in english without dotting the i’s. AND WHY IS YOUR PRINTED T A REAL T BUT IN HANDWRITING SUDDENLY IT’S m. WHY. WHY. WHYYYYY.
