When I was in school I learned writing longhand as a default. Not block letters. This way most letters are composed of one stoke. So for me, as a German, this article did not make the slightest sense at first. And even having mostly switched to a kind of block letter style, I write most letters with one and max. two strokes. I could never imagine writing a "w" with 4 strokes. For me, this will always be one stroke. Four wold be like stoping my car engine at every direction change. Then getting out of the car. Reentry, engine start, change direction. Start driving. And so on.
