Successors

Common misconceptions

Forms 'a' as a circle plus a stick on the right instead of magic-c plus a closing line
Floats letters above the grass-line (must sit ON the grass-line, not above)
Reverses 'd' as 'b' (the magic-c starting cue is the key discriminator: d starts with magic-c, b starts with a straight line)
