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 also dot my lower case “j’s” and cross my lower case “f’s”.
About the only mental processing going on when I’m writing is what word I want to use next. In school, writing the letters was drilled in to me so that it is simple muscle memory to make them. That goes for both print and cursive writing.
Now when I took French in high school, I did have to stop and remember when the accents were required. I never reached a fluent proficiency with the language.
Contrast that with my wife who is fluent in French, both speaking and writing and she writes the accents with no additional thought.
I sometimes dot the “y” if I’ve been writing a lot of uncial recently.
