I was wondering something, there are 2 ways to write the letter "i"; One looks like this: {I} with 2 horizontal lines accross the top & bottom. The other way to write the letter "i" is to simply draw a vertical line, like so {l}. So which way do YOU write the letter "i", and do you have any other odd hand writing quirks?

It really depends. I usually just draw a vertical line unless I'm going to putting in a lot of l's which are also vertical lines. I don't think about it too much because I don't hand write a lot anymore. Almost everything I need to turn in for school must be typed. It is a relief because my hand writing is pretty pathetic. I'm just not dexterous. I'm not lazy at all because I've tried and failed to improve it.

I'm Sorry. sweatdrop I created this thread while surfing late at night. Now that I think about it again it does sound kind of odd.

In my normal writing, it is just one vertical line. However, if I'm writing something for Chemistry, I use the three-lined I. Iodine is a capital I, and one vertical line can mean an "I," a lowercase "L," or a "1." It gets really confusing when you're trying to figure out which one it is, so I make them look neat and tidy so I don't say, "The Ionization energy is the Azimuthal number? What?"

I make my I's with a line on both the top and bottom. 3nodding I don't like getting them confused with my 1's and l's.

Strangely enough, I use the "I" with the lines when I'm speaking about myself, but if it's at the beginning of a sentence, I use "|". >.>

I always use the "I". I don't want to confuse my letters.

I write the letter 'i' out as 'I'. Also, I'd like to note that ones can be written as '1' or 'l'. Due to this, I write my ones out as '1'. I think that there are 'l' I's due to old computers with few pixels. This caused the horizontal lineless I to become mainstream, at least in my oppinion.

I do it with the two horizontal lines because it gets a little weird and confusing when you have a word with "L"s and you write the "I" as just a line next to it. For an example, if it the word were written on paper: "lllustrate." It looks a little crazy to me.

I...think it changes, actually. I think all my letters change. Between cursive and print, between lowercase and uppercase in the middle of words. Sometimes I'll write a two story a and sometimes just one. I think most of the time I don't cross the I though.
Hmm, I kind of want to start a thread of scanning handwriting and posting it. That might be interesting. Or maybe I'm just weird and wanting to do anything other than design. That's entirely possible.

I really don't have to worry about that, because I type faster than I write so I type most of the time anyway, and I have this permanent muscle in my hand that makes me write in cursive! XD But I used to write it with the lines on the top and bottom, because I used to get confused. I also used to always capitalize my 'L's, for some reason. God, my own logic confuses me. o.o

I typically write in a broken or lazy cursive. Not everything is connected, but a lot is. My I is one vertical line when standing alone, and when the beginning of a word, it's a vertical line curving into the next word. I can't print for too long, even on forms and applications.
I do on rare occasions add the serif lines, but sans serif mixed with script if my preferred style of writing.
