Can someone explain to me. . .

The double-storied miniscule g?

Why does the tail start from the left? No, no, don't bring me the Wikipedia article. I've read it. I still don't understand it. What fluid motion produces such a letter? My miniscule gs are always double-storied, but the tail always comes from the right and any attempt to get the tail to come from the left results in spasms and erroneous, wending lines that cast the page with loops of emetic refuse to be submitted to the wastebasket.

So what have you, pen-holding friends? What makes the double-storied miniscule g have such sinister design?

... But it's a lovely sinuous spiral, like a letter "s." Its shape makes sense with that fluid movement.

So is it a broken stroke? Because my issue comes from it retracing so much of the loop to get the pen back to the left. It is ungainly.

I do it in two "strokes." Start with the tail for the top, continue until top circle is complete; lift pen; start at the bottom of top circle and swish around to create the bottom...

For greatest efficiency, this is bothersome. For example, write the following with your two-stroke method:

Grog glugging Glug's grog grogs Glug grogging Grog's grog.

Is your wrist begging you to stop?
