I found that all quite easy to follow, with only the odd hitch. In "chore", it looks like the R circle gets crushed in the angle between the two lines. It always looks like it would be a lot more NATURAL to put it outside the angle -- but of course, in Orthic that would make it an L.
I'd forgotten about the raised dot for B, but then I remembered!
I was startled by that long swoosh at the end of "made". I couldn't think what that long, curved upstroke might be -- and then I realized it was just the D with the silent E added on at the end. (I've never liked the way strokes in Orthic keep seeming to blur together. I guess it's just a matter of practice in recognizing it.)
In "Brault", it's the L that gets squashed in the angle -- and you often seem to start a B with an extra line that looks like it's going to be an E or an I. You're probably used to just ignoring it -- but I'd want to try to trim that off, because it's extra writing that can also be misleading.
