      My wife has since gotten rid of it, but I absolutely loved my welcoming mat that said “Hi, I’m Matt!”

      I think our current one shows a pumpkin and says “oh my gourd, you’re here!”

        I have one that says “HOWDY! I’m Mat. I’m on howdy duty!”

      Well, it basically is, but if it is, there’s no i. I write cursive rs like in the picture, and I’d write “wi” with a bit of a lower droop between the “w” and “i” to make that clear.

        Yeah the part where the r is supposed to be is just not a letter. My r’s are more like if you cut the second half of the n off or if you took a v and just squished it together so it has no space in the middle

          What you described isn’t a cursive “r” though. Here’s the cursive alphabet:

          The “r” there looks very similar to the second half of the “w” and the “i” of you don’t have a clear drop between the peaks in the “r”. The real issue IMO is there isn’t a clear drop between the “w” and the “i” to make it clear they’re separate letters.

            Your image is irrelevant as is the first part of your comment since this is the cursive we are taught.

            I do agree however that the way the word in the image is written is just wrong.

              Why is that alphabet missing letters? There’s no q, w, x, or y. And you have a funky C and S. How would you write “wine” without a “w”?

              I’m starting to think that maybe this isn’t the English alphabet and doesn’t relate to the post at hand… 😉

                And yet it relates to the comments you made. I never would have gone looking for this image if you had just accelted the way I write my r’s. This image relates to a whole different discussion that appeared in the comments

                  Sure. My point is that the say English speakers write cursive Rs is relevant to the image. How another language does it isn’t particularly relevant.

                  What language is that BTW? It looks Slavic, but I can’t put my finger on which one it is.

    I would commend them on their dedication to proper cursive except they broke it with the ‘b’ and ‘r’ in brought.

    Coolest part is that you don’t have to put it in front of your door.
    It could be your neighbors door, or a random strangers.
