It seems I alternate how I write numbers and letters every few years. When I was real little, I used to write "a" as an "o" with a "c" attached. I used to get back spelling tests with words marked wrong, then the mark scribbled out with a checkmark, and my "a" circled. Then I started writing it as an "o" with the little slant off the side. But at one point my handwriting was getting so bad, that I sometimes couldn't tell the difference between "a", "u", "n", "s", and "y". So I started writing "a" as seen in type. But for whatever reaslon, I dropped it after a year and now I'm back to the simple slant. For a while I also used to write my lower-case "f" with a stroke only on the right side, but since I also have a habbit of angling the top instead of curving it, it was too easy to confuse with the upper-case version.
Other letters I've changed over time are "y", which I do in one stroke, with an inverse curve underneath. I used to write "r" in a single up-right stroke, but now I write it more like a "v" (and sometimes confuse it with one). And a bunch of others. I'll bet in a few more years I'll be writing characters differently yet again.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
