Handwriting: Why do specific handwritten symbols change?
-
To clarify: I am not talking about global changes to the way you write. I just noticed that I am writing several symbols differently now. Particularly, F and M. There was no conscious choice one day that I would like to make them differently, but there really is a big difference between the "before" and "after". They are more flowery and cursive-like: Has anyone experienced anything similar, or know an explanation to this?

Answer:
From my 26 years of experience as a handwriting instructor/remediator, calligrapher, and Director of the World Handwriting Contest, I'd say you're trying subconsciously to better balance the legibility-demands of the eyes versus the opposing speed-demands of the writing hand. Forsome help with that: : http://www.BFHhandwriting.com, http://www.handwritingsuccess.com, http://www.briem.net, http://www.HandwritingThatWorks.com, http://www.italic-handwriting.org, http://www.studioarts.net/calligraphy/italic/hwlesson.html, http://literacyonline.tki.org.nz/content/download/24055/267096/file/teaching-handwriting.pdf

Yes, your handwriting evolves over the years. I have a very distinctive capital J and lower case e. I saw it written somewhere like that and consciously decided to adopt it. Also as we get older we sometimes get in more of a hurry and the letters become sloppier. Now that computers have been introduced handwriting is becoming more and more obsolete. I know I use mine more and more because it is easier to read.
