People be writing words with the letters all connected in cursive so the quill didn’t have to lift up or whatever.
How come they didn’t do that with the digits in numbers?

I thought that was only for single digit numbers. Or is that a more recent convention?
I don’t know how universal it was, but in old documents it’s common to see dates written out fully in the form of “on the thirty-first day of January in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty-six”
