Reply to comment by Deafwindow in TIL that Barq's Root Beer was first created by Edward Barq in Biloxi, Miss, in 1897. In 1934, Barq and a former employee, who moved to New Orleans, agreed to each distribute their own version of the root beer, with the New Orleans version having a red label and the Biloxi version having a blue one. by jdward01

Here is a cursive writing chart. Please notice the differences with N and R as well as G and Q. A lower case n has a swoop that forms into that beginning straight line, an r just immediately begins forming the letter. The g and q have opposite facing tail loops.

Thank you. I grew up in an education system that didn't value reading and writing so I genuinely appreciate it. Hope I can fill my knowledge gaps

My pleasure. Learning is a lifelong venture. We all have gaps in our knowledge. It's all about how we respond to a learning opportunity that makes all the difference.

But why are some of the letters a different color?

Those are the vowels.

Is there a chart that explains those?

A chart that explains vowels? I'm sure you could use a search engine to have a vowel explained. They are a required part of many languages that use this alphabet.
