have you ever seen anyone make a "q" like that?
I don't recall the "q". What I noticed were the slants of the "e"s and other letters. They all looked blockish, but there were many little differences.
I looked it up again to refresh my memory since the q's didn't stand out to me. I have to say, that's how I made q's. It's how I was taught to as the appropriate form. I don't write in cursive much now. My handwriting was always bad, so I just started using manuscript in college. But, that is the way that I was taught to make the letter q, and how I did so until I abandoned cursive all together. It may be different now. The styles of some letters have changed over the years.
