quirk?

I haven't had the opportunity to look at everybody's handwriting sample in the world, but from what I have seen I've noticed I do something slightly weird that I've never seen another person do.

Most of my 'quirks' in writing come from being taught my alphabet and my early foundation spelling vocabulary in the UK but the bulk of my schooling was in the US. My 'y' is rounded and its tail curls around, my 't' is curved at the bottom. But every feature in my handwriting can be found in many other people's--except for one. I don't even know why I started doing this in the first place but at some point I re-designed the lower-case 'f' and instead of actually sitting on top of the line like it's supposed to, it hangs below it like 'p' and 'j' and the rest.

This is what I mean.





See? The 'f' hangs by its cross.

I don't know why I do that. It doesn't make any sense, but 'making sense' is only occasionally a prerequisite for the shit I do.
