I have so many questions for yall lol.
So for the letter t, do you just keep track in your head to write the vertical curve first then remember the horizontal dash after? For longer words, do you sometimes forget these final touchups?
Also does signing a signature come natural for you, i.e. due to the non stop motion?
And not just “t” and “i”, if you do the same thing for letters from other languages like accents from other languages too, e.g. á, à, ü…etc. Then please share your thoughts too.
I don’t, I just write.
It’s not really something to remember, past like… pre-school where they first teach you to write, it’s just instinctual to write it that way
Can’t say that I have :p
Most people I know have a signature that consist of multiple strokes, so it’s not really any more non-stop than any other kind of writing.
We don’t write accents typically in my native language, but we do have some special characters (ą, č, ę, ė, į, š ų, ų, ž) for the diacritic marks that aren’t attached you’d treat them the same as writing dots on i’s and j’s in terms of write order, for ą, ę, į, ų the final stroke or the letter is in place to write the diacritic in the same stroke
I’ve said to coworkers in the past: I don’t really know my passwords, but fortunately my fingers seem to. It’s just the path they know. It’s kind of the same thing for my signature (on the rare occasion it’s needed).
I’ve heard signatures described more as art than handwriting. You’re drawing a picture of your name, not writing it out.
To be honest I feel like in my experience people where I live don’t typically have their full name as a signature anyway (or at least I haven’t seen a full name as a signature for the people I’ve interacted with in life). Usually it’s just initials with a lot of embellishments, so it’s even more like drawing a picture than writing in that regard :3
Pretty much the only time I regularly sign anything these days is when I pick up my medication at the pharmacy. Their touch pad for doing so is so bad and at such an awkward angle that the result never resembles my actual signature. In fact, yesterday I had to use it and the result was just two straight - though differently angled - lines.
I guess you could have described it as some very abstract art.
