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?

    Uppercase letters in succession don’t work in cursive. And almost nobody uses lowercase numbers, even back then.

      Finally an answer. Thank you.

      Edit: wait a second… If lowercase numbers did connect, and were once used, why not any more?

      I can’t find any results for “connecting cursive numbers” or “joining cursive numbers”.
