Hello Andre!
I think your writing of ALLIGATOR is perfect! It is clear from the  
side view...I really like it...So please do not say that I said that  
was incorrect...I never said that!

Your writing IS correct from the side view.

There are around four ways that you can write the sign for ALLIGATOR  
and both of our ways are correct, depending on the viewpoint you take...

Writing from the side view makes sense sometimes, when it is hard to  
write it from another point of view...

Your writing of Alligator is fine...please see attached diagram...I  
hope you can see my diagrams?
