  4. When I learned my letters (In the UK) lowercase “f” was written with the vertical stroke terminating at the horizontal line, as with Uppercase F.

  5. Pp aren’t exactly the same either. Just like the tail at the end of the “u”, there is a slight tail on the top of “p” that isn’t there with the uppercase version (at least on my default font).
