Not particularly - at least, not when I write. Cursive is the reason I gave R as a possible confusion (as the loop part of the k can sometimes be shifted too far up), but if your k doesn't double back on itself, or your h does, then I think you have problems. :mrgreen:
Games I like, in order of how much I like them. (Now permanent and updated regularly!)

I've ticked English only but in fact I'm being generous to myself. I speak what I call "International English". I grew up in numerous countries and then over decades stuffed up my vocabulary over many decades.
I understand some others and there actually words I Think are English that are in fact foreign ( French, German or Dutch). It can get quite amusing when I get the blank stares <g>
I still have a real dictionary that gets regularly used.
