they is what they is, you know?

Technically speaking, I do believe that the cursive n has two humps and the cursive m has 3, strangely enough. Otherwise, the n might look too much like an r, I guess?

the "second hump" is just the connection from the previous letter. You don't got all the way to the bottom of the line and then start it. That's an "m".<div>

how I was crucified with one of my first posts criticizing Dixon's use of grammar after the UK win... but now we can make fun of his 3rdgrade hand writing... ?

...on a poster from last summer's extravaganza and I can confirm that's what his signature looks like.

but all I know is that people (even in this very thread) are still laughing about that post-game UK interview. Not sure if any of that counts as criticism of AD, or if it were, why he should care, because he's poised to make more in a few years than most of us will probably make in a decades. I just find it comical.

SPS can be a little fickle in general. Reasonable posts are routinely ignored while repetitive cesspools generate the most discussion. It still makes for a fantastic way to waste time.

Needs to look like a big *** A, a crossed t, and a y with scribbles between. Then the last name should be a big *** D, with scribbles. The middle of it should resemble a crossed x. For added points he could cross the x with the y from his first name.

That's my expertise cursive writing lecture for the day, thank you.

PS I suck at cursive and even manuscript. Thank God for computers and keyboards.

As most cursive letters end at the bottom of the letter, it would be correct to make the two humps (see his n after the A in Anthomy). The letter o ends at the top of the letter, thereby making the transition a smaller hump that simply connects the end point of the o to the beginning of the n, which would be the top of the letter.

But mane, what's it matter? Everyone else's signature is scribble anyway. Kudos to him for trying to maintain a legible autograph.

I think i had a notebook dedicated to nothing but my autograph in grade school. If I wasAD i would have been practicing that thing since high school...at least. I was and still am a 17'n nobody.

Wonder where they got it from. "Nightgown" is just individual letters pasted together, not how you would (or would have, I gave up cursive myself in 1976) actually write a word.

3rd grade to 12th, everything we wrote was in cursive. From 7th on , it was written with a cheap ballpoint pen (except for that brief fascination in 7th and 8th with the cartridge fountain pen).
