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’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.
