I made the mistake of reading your reply as I was sipping my coffee! You make me laugh. Thank you!

My wife loves to camp. At the Hyatt, the Westin, the Hilton, the W. As in so many areas, I defer to her better judgement. I'm perfectly content to leave the woods to the bears.We, as humans, have spent millenia bringing ourselves out of the woods and caves and into civilization as we know it today. Now, all men want to do is turn right around and go back into said woods and caves and call it "camping". This sets man back a good bit, don't you think?![]()
Hmm.. the ladies seem a bit tentative about camping..... Now, all men want to do is turn right around and go back into said woods and caves and call it "camping". This sets man back a good bit, don't you think?![]()

If you use the OP definition that cursive = connected, "normal" Sanskrit, Arabic and Tibetan are written in cursive scipts. For Hindi, which uses the same script as Sanskrit, and Tibetan, "running hand" for faster writing means no (or at least fewer) connections.When I have been to the museum, I have noticed that Sanskrit and Arabic alphabets have many styles. Several of them seem to have a block form and then a cursive form. Am I correct is assuming some forms of these are cursive? Also, I have seem writing from Tibet that has several styles some very cursive like in style.

Sounds hardly bearable, but in our gender's defence, so far as there is one, some among us may occasionally wish to slither back into said woods and caves but not call it "camping", though intense it may be...![]()

I don't remember who said it sometime in the last century, but it seems that Mankind spent thousands of years, if not millions, with indoor cooking and outdoor plumbing, only to end up in the latter half of the 20th Century with indoor plumbing and outdoor cooking. Is this Progress?. . . The nerve of some men! We, as humans, have spent millenia bringing ourselves out of the woods and caves and into civilization as we know it today. Now, all men want to do is turn right around and go back into said woods and caves and call it "camping". . . .

But japanese utilizes those characters in such different matters that aren't interchangeable...Japanese uses three types of writing, according to Wikipedia:
The Japanese language is written with a combination of three different types of glyphs: Chinese characters (called kanji), and two syllabic scripts, hiragana and katakana. The Latin alphabet (called rōmaji) is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for things such as company names, advertising, and when inputting Japanese into a computer. Western style Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers, but traditional Chinese/Japanese numberings are also commonplace.
there's a recessive "ll" gene somewhere in our DNA.
