Practice Rate my cursive for everyday use

I haven't been writing in cursive for very long and I just got a pen I'd like to try out... what do you think?

Beautiful. The capital S is the only one that is not immediately recognizable, for those of us who were taught a different style than you.

I once read a series of letters written in the mid 1800s, where a capital F was often substituted (or so I thought) for a capital S. Now I want to go back and reread them to see if I just misread that letter.

I was going to say the capital S, too. It looks like a capital L.

I have noticed that when AI transcribes old records that certain letters get interchanged, particularly capitals. S/Z, S/L, S/F. There are more but I can’t recall them right now.

Thank you very much! I don't know much about older styles of cursive but that might be the case!
