Do your hand-written f's look like this F at the start of a word or like backwards 7's?

Like F , but is sorta chicken scratched. Its one motion, I don't pick up my pen/pencil.

yes, if it is capitalised - it looks like an F

if the word isn't at the start of the sentence and/or a proper noun, then the 'f' becomes much more loose

Mine look like a crucifix t.

Mine looks like an upside-down, undotted and crossed j (just like a 'f', in fact), or a nice, right-angled capital F.

Unless I don't have time to be anal-retentive about my handwriting. In that case the lower case gets bowed, and the capitals get gaps between the vertical and horizontal lines.

...

The fact that I know this disturbs me.

Mine look like this: F, f. Pretty much dead on.

I was taught to make them like backwards 7's with a slash through.

The only reason I came here is because I thought this was about the F word, I'm glad I got to see what I wanted.

But you have to admit, it is rather resource intensive. A short story would fill 10 whole pads.

That's me alright.

Or maybe not.
