Experience!

 

While teaching in Thailand I tried an experiment with cursive writing. With 6th grade students who'd only been exposed to printed English I wrote an English sentence on the board in cursive. That sentence used every English letter. It was a sentence from my typing class days: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy brown dog". Likely these students had never seen cursive before. Working together the class quickly deciphered the letters in cursive.

  Now, my question is: Who, where, when and why were two spaces eliminated after a period?

This is the 6th grade class, with their teacher, on whom I tried the cursive reading experiment. 2020
