Do you know alternative scripts for your language? If so, can you talk about them?
I mean scripts like Shavian or Quikscript. Are these script useful to you in your day-to-day life? How are they better than the original scripts of your language?
As a parent teaching kids to read, I'd love an alphabet that didn't have the stupid ambiguities of current English. Trying to explain to a kid that "c" can make a few different sounds is a pain in the butt.
In my experience, "joined up" is the British English way of referring to the mostly informal way that people write "joining up" their letters. I don't think it's as formally structured and taught like it is (was?) in America, where pretty much every letter is different than in print.
