A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

People who "cross the T's and dot the I's" in their hand writing, how do you visualize a word when you write? (lemmy.world)

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.

Honestly it feels like it's just 2nd nature, I don't even really have to think about it. Every time the pen comes off the page (usually every word, but it can happen mid-word in some cases), I just go back and finish off any letters that need it.

My signature is a personalised scribble I learned a long time ago, it comes naturally due to the number of times I've signed things, rather than anything linked to handwriting in general.

I've not hand-written in an accented language for a while, but I'm pretty sure I treat the accents similarly
