eta: I forgot to say so specifically, but I hope the people who have ticked "something else interesting" will say what it was :-)

I picked up a number of strange habits with my writing quite deliberately, since my Godmother also has a very distinctive (and much more classy) hand-writing style that was clearly created, rather than occuring organically. I write 'd' as an eth without the crossbar, and 'b' like a flat symbol in music. 'E' is a backwards 3 (but so is my mothers, and since my name begins with E, I could easily have picked that up from her). 'y' has a straight descender, but 'g' a curved one.

Not deliberate, but something I can't change no matter how hard I try: 'h' has a straight descender when written first, or following any letter other than 't'. When following 't' it has a very prominent loop at the top, and often becomes almost flat at the bottom ('L' shaped). I also have a tendency to join capitals to the following lower case letter, and to join numbers written in sequence (phone numbers for instance).

Interestingly, the Tablet TIP seems to have no problems at all with the slightly strange way I write.
