Stroke order makes sense for 漢字, and to some extent for 仮名, but rigid calligraphy of this sort is not a necessity with English, it is a pure luxury, especially in this case, when it's just printing. That print lowercase a is not self-evidently “correct” in any sense, there is no history or reason behind printing an a that way, and you can make an argument that it causes unnecessary confusion with d to do so.
Also, precise stroke order isn't really that important for 漢字 either. Which of these has correct stroke order? https://qui.suis.je/drop/20200608_0001.webp https://qui.suis.je/drop/20200608_0001.webp
- Grustaf 6y agoI’m not sure what you mean. Clearly the current forms of the lowercase letters are correct, what do you mean? Do you simply mean that they _could have_ looked differently? Sure. I can’t open the link, but yes, stroke order makes a big practical difference for learning, and of course for cursive.
