In which

Cursive is considered distinct from the so-called "printing" or "block letter" style of writing, in which the letters of a word are unconnected, and from "print-writing", which is a cross between cursive and printing, with some unconnected letters and some connected.

See the above sentence and focus mainly on the bold/underline.

I am confuse by the word in which. So does the phrase "in which the letters of a word are unconnected" meant "Cursive" style of writing or "printing" style of writing?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

But why?

Because I thought its is: The letters are unconnected in cursive writing. They are connected in print writing. (I thought the "in which" meant the first sentence)

Neither; it is incorrectly constructed, since they are people, not things, and introversion is not 'within' a personality. The correct sentence would be:

John has a very different personality than Matthew, who is an introvert.

Matthew is the introvert.
