WHAT DID THE FOX SAY?
-
Yip yip yip. Yip yip. Yip yip yip yip... Yop.
-
Excuse you, the Yop is clearly cursive
-
I think you meant italic?

God dammit English why must you copy the French for everything
-
Ah interesting context, thanks for sharing!
This does make me curious though.. how do these languages refer to cursive handwriting vs italicised font?
-
Looking at Wikipedia, besides the languages calling it cursive it seems there are two camps:
- Germanic languages seem to call it "Writing letters/style" (German: Schreibschrift, Danish: Skråskrift, Dutch: Schrijfletter, Swedish: Skrivstil)
- Romance languages seem to call it "cursive script" instead of just "cursive" (French: Écriture cursive, Italian: Scrittura corsiva, Portuguese: Letra cursiva)
Interestingly Italian calls italics "corsivo" and cursive "Scrittura corsiva" so the Wikipedia page for either has a disambiguation link to the other.
