Common mistakes
What to watch for with L
-
Capital L in two strokes
L is one movement: down, turn, along. Lifting the pencil leaves a gap at the corner.
-
Lowercase l too short
l goes from the top line to the base line, the full height.
-
Starting at the bottom
Both forms start at the top line and go down.
