    OTT child's cursive, as more frequently seen on continental Europe.

    Someone bought this infant's book for my daughter, which was very sweet of them:

    However it's not 'muvola' as my British eye reads, it's 'nuvola', which is handy because 'muvola' isn't a word in Italian.

    Every fucking n in the book is written like an m and it irritates the living shit out of me every time I see it. It's a book to teach kids how to enjoy books and, ultimately, read - what good is it screwing with letters like that?

    • Yup, I learned cursive like that in Portugal

    • ^ That image is from Brazil, and it's the "m" but you get the pointdmay
    • That is a cursive n, but should not be using both humps to begin a wordGnash
    • I read an N. An M would have another line.Bennn

    • I definitely learned that one, jay. But this is ... different. The curve isn't leading in correctly and is confusing on the book cover.monospaced
    • i read it as mdrgs
    • n, and yes, hard to read if you learned script in german/english countries...also other letters differ in how they are told in script: r, s, tuan
    • I learned this way of writing cursive (French, so-called Écriture A) ... m has two humps, n has one:
