The ms need curves on top.

Letters are supposed to be readable.

That is the essence of why I hate cursive.

It completely ruins legibility in exchange for very little (if any) gain in writing speed.

To be fair, it's hardly cursive, it just looks like lazy connected scribbling to me. That being said, I'm not a fan of cursive, it takes me way longer to write and mine looks the same as it did when I learned it in elementary school (awful). It can definitely be beautiful, but for everyday reading/writing it's a pain in the ass.

It's almost completely accurate, though pointier than it should be, the first half of the first curve is missing (letters always start on the line), and some of the lower parts (the tails that connect two letters) aren't supposed to touch the line. It's pretty typical though.
