The O in illusion is a loop.

Good catch. I want my money back!

Cursive lower case 'o' isn't a loop. You go up to the top, double back, around the bottom, to the top, and double back again.

It's like a 'u' that meets at the top.

Although in the cursive I'm familiar with, the "j" and "z" in "jizz" would also have loops. I didn't expect to be writing a sentence like this today.

Oh, you're right, I didn't even think of that.

Depends on how you write it, I think. I'm seeing both looped and unlooped versions looking through image search results. Trying to just write it myself from what I remember of cursive, I'd probably write it without a loop, regardless of what's "official".

Don’t need loops to say I LUV SWILLIN JIZZ

Next challenge is to take a trajectoid and turn it into a fair die that could be used for gaming while still spelling things out
