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.

    As most answers talk about writing, pretending that the question is a valid one, I suggest to take a step back. Crossing the ts and dotting the is is a saying, originating from times when penmanship was important in making good impressions in correspondence. Today, people use this saying because it is a common and short way to describe a certain type of activity without getting into specifics. People today don’t use this saying because crossing ts is always on their mind. Your question is like asking: when you look the gift horse in the mouth, what are you exactly looking for? And then lemmy users stating to make up stories how they one day actually got a gift horse but before accepting it they wanted to make sure vet bills wouldn’t be crazy high.
